  Animating fly through text

  Posted by Djackson on January 3, 2007 at 5:29 pm

  I had a question. What’s the best way to create an effect of flying through text like you see on Creative Cow’s Multimedia 101 podcasts, it’s the opener.

  You can see it here: https://www.creativecow.net/mm101podcast/ and in the podcast “What is Compositing”

  Would trapcode shine work? or is it all glow? I tried both, but don’t seem to get the same cool effect as in the opener. I really like that style.

  Thanks for any tips or if there’s any tut. on it, that would be great.

  Aharon made a tutorial on this, so please click on the guy with the slap hat to see a listing. It’s one of his first podcasts/ video tutorials and should be there.

  Thanks Mylenium!

  However I couldn’t find the tut 🙁

  I did however come up with something on my own where I have a text piece and a camera set to have a certain focus field and any text outside of that focus area becomes blurred. So I copy the same camera and text on other comps, just change the text and it’s location. Having the text/camera on each comp allows me to composite all those comps and set the mode to ADD so I can see through the text. to The camera just moves straight through. It looks really cool. It’s just another way of doing it 🙂
