Utopian.io Motion Signature | Custom Banner - Marketing to Utopian.io

Hi everyone.
Here I am with my second contribution.
Before proceeding with this work, I went through the utopian discord channel and explained my idea for my next contribution.
The idea was to create some kind of animated signature with some keywords about Utopian that could be used as promotional material.
@elear replied by expressing curiosity about the final result, however he suggested that it should be something minimalist.
After some research on the style, I decided to do something like this:

First I would need a short video:
https://www.videvo.net/video/typing-in-the-dark-05/4476/
Description:
Top view of a man typing on a laptop in the dark.
Licence:
Videvo Standard License
Usage
All projects and media.

For this project I used photoshopCS6.
Start by creating a new project:
File | New : 1000x450 px

01.png

Inserting the video:
File | Import | Video frames to layers

02.png

For the result I wanted I din´t have to import the whole video, after selecting the desired interval, I imported a total of approximately 30 frames.
The video opens a new project, then joined all the layers and dragged to the project that I created in the first place.

next step, create a group and insert all the frames of the video and resize

Create the entire sequence for the frames of the video in the timeline, create a layer mask in the group folder and with the brush erase the line that highlights the limit of the video, thus harmonizing the whole background.
Here also applied to the video a technique known as cinemagraph, to be able to create a continuous loop in the video, in this way the image will always run without interruptions.
I basically start to lower the opacity of the last layers 10% by 10% by activating the first layers to the same extent.

Now is time to insert the Utopian logo, resize, desaturate and apply some gradient color between white and gray, then reduce opacity to 70%

Do the same for the following letters

Now create and prepare the base for the keywords, in this i´m using "1aec8c" smooth green color.

This lines i will use in the end of the clip to make the transition between the end and the beginning.
To change the slope:
Edit | Transform | Perspective

010.png

For the keywords i applied a motion blur filter:
Filter | Blur | Motion Blur

011.png

You will notice that the color Utopian logo will appear behind the white logo.
For this effect i created 2 black backgrounds, select the white logo then press ctrl + click with the mouse , select the second background layer and press delete. Now you just need to put the white and color logo between the 2 backgrounds in the right place and play arround.

The animated process is just me moving things arround in just one time layer.

And this is the final result:
