<h1>First Things First</h1>
After many weeks, and tons of video entries, we are now at the top 10 qualifiers who have made it to the ELIMINATION round where the contestants will face off each other until the last one stands. I would like to thank @bambam808 & @steemitgottalent for this opportunity to also be judging the videos and talents that have been sent in. The entries are amazing!!! I want Steemit's Got Talent to have a strong presence in the Steemit's community. Hence, I decided to make a video to shoutout SGT's presence more.

<h1>Steemit's Got Talent : Elimination Opening Video</h1>

https://youtu.be/MMUOYB9QwYs

Duration : 0:33 seconds

Software used : Adobe After Effects, Autodesk Maya.

<h2>The Idea</h2>

The whole idea was to have a short snippet of all the participating contestant's video compiled into the opening sequence. I wanted to make it like an arena, where contestants face off each other. Also, I wanted something exciting like a stadium view to show that there are definitely a lot of audiences watching these submissions. So I used the arena idea as I created this video. With the intensity rising from all participants, I added a little smoke and flares to create the tension.
