Thanks David,
I agree, rolls are a clammy thing; very tough to pull off well. In general I try to avoid them. In this instance, instead of using a black background, I used a mix of moving backgrounds composited with a variety of footage behind the text, so there was enough going on to kind of hide the limitations of the roll. Still, all in all, it isn’t a pretty sight to the experienced eye.
Thanks much for your time and expertise.
