Stephen,

Thanks for your reply 🙂 Unfortunately, that’s not quite what I’m looking for. I’m looking for more of a “particle” based dirt. I’m sorry if I was a little unclear in my initial request.

The “dirt” will need to be able to “move” or “shift” as things like titles, or ‘treasures’ or whatever may be down there move around during the opening sequence. I’m not quite sure how to explain it other than that.

My idea is this: This will be a short title sequence for a show featuring metal detector enthusiasts. The show is basically about them going out, and finding things in the ground with their metal detectors basically. What I wanted to do for the opening title sequence, was have a time line sort of deal, kind of dig in from the left to the right of the screen, digging through the dirt as it crawls across the screen, and displacing the dirt around it as it moves. I’m sorry this is the best I can think of how to describe it. I’d post screen shots, but I’ve not really started it yet… because I’m not exactly sure how to go about it…. hence me asking for help 🙂 😉 😉 I may be able to whip up a simple pic in photoshop or something if I need to?

Again thanks for the response! 🙂 Any help or tips are greatly appreciated.

Ah, thank you all very much for your ideas and input. I am still in the design phase right now, just doing a little pre-planning with the questions on the stuff i wasn’t too sure about. I will let you all know how it goes! Great ideas, and I understand now. Thanks a lot! I’ll let ya know 🙂
