My guess is that several layers of text were animated moving in various directions in an app like AE, precomposed and animated upward as a whole, then rendered with an alpha channel to a movie or image sequence which was then used as a UV Texture Map in a 3d app, and applied to a 3d model that matched the basic shape of the woman’s torso and head. This was then rendered with an alpha channel, minus the 3d model, brought back into the compositor, and masked off where her shirt is. The movie clip was probably first Stabilized, then, after the compositing, unstabilized back to the original camera motion.

Good luck in your studies.
Looking at the clip again, I think the 3d app round trip could maybe be skipped by using the Freeform effect in CS5, or Bezier Warp in the previous versions.

Both of Joey’s suggestions may apply- I would recommend the second. Using FreeForm to distort an animated text layer in 3d space would be my choice.
