What Should I Call My Animation?

Hey guys!

So, I had a cool idea to make a Wynncraft fanmade animation about the fall of what we now know as Ancient Nemract. At the moment, I am still planning things and have not started animating as of yet, but I hope to begin soon. Just one thing. I need a title. an animation isn't like a story, where the title tells you what's going to happen, because you can literally watch the trailer instead of reading a blurb.

I thought I'd hand it over to you guys to VOTE IN THE POLL ABOVE to decide which of four options should be the animations' title. Here is the logic behind each choice:

Choice 1: Scorched Hope
This one is my personal favourite and the one I voted for. The idea is that the Nether "scorch" the peace and stability that Wynn has for many years to come. I think this title has a really nice ring to it, nd personally, it's the one I would choose.

Choice 2: Oath of Smoke
I like this one as well, because Bak'al - who you'll see in the animation - has sworn to wipe out (Anceint) Nemract with his fiery armies. A close second.

Choice 3: The Tomb in the Night
This one is slightly morbid, and is built around the idea that by the end of the story...
Ancient Nemract is one giant tomb.

Choice 4: The Dawn of the Marked
This one is simple - it refers to the rise of the corrupt, or the "marked" and their rise to power. Personally I don't like this one so much, but it was way better than my other ideas, so...

Please vote, and if you have any other ideas, tell me in the comments.

 

In my opinion, I think its a better idea to make the animation then name it.

 

I understand what you mean. The thing is, any of these titles would work and I have written the SCRIPT (which is what affects the title), so I'm ready to choose.

 

Ah, then oh that makes sense.

 

Ye. what did you vote for, out of interest?

 

The one you like the least lol

 

Ah well - I wondered who had voted for that.

Still, it was your choice and I still think that one's a good title, just not as good as the others.

 

I'd like to give my opinion on all the current options, if I may:

This one is a bit generic, and it doesn't convey the right message. "Scorched" doesn't mean completely burned, just touched by heat. In fact, some might misinterpret it as hope that is smoldering, which is to say that hope isn't gone at all. I think this title would work better if the animation were about the aftermath of the destruction of Ancient Nemract.

This one is better, and it sounds the best out of all of them. It sounds solemn, a bit militaristic, which is good. The only thing I don't like about it is the "X of Y" structure. Many song names in the Wynncraft soundtrack use that structure, and lots lots of fantasy titles as well, so personally I've grown a bit tired of it.

I read the options before the beginning of the thread, and I thought the animation was about the Mummy's Tomb, or something in the Desert. It's confusing, doesn't do justice to the event (a tomb is for one person only), non-descriptive and generic with the "in the night" part. Nope.

Again, the "X of Y" structure. This one isn't a whole lot better than option 3, because of most of the same criticisms. "Dawn" has a positive connotation in a lot of cases, and "Marked" simply doesn't apply.

In conclusion: I'd say go with option 2. Some names I've come up with:
Harrowing Nemract
Portside March
Portside Fires

 

Hmm... I see what you mean.

I will definitely think about this over the coming weeks. Thanks!

 

At the moment, Options 1 and 2 are tying!
