    It’s called the “very hard work” effect.

    (warning: joke post, joke post)

    I have Bridge open, I do not see this “Very Hard Work” as a preset. Too bad, this could save a lot of people having to learn how to use After Effects.

    This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

    It’s right next to the “remove overacting” effect

    It’s not difficult.

    First off, you break the whole animation down into segments based short phrases. Probably make a different comp for each phrase.

    There was a lot going on there but I’m assuming the animation that you were curious about are the shots that spin. Like “What country are you from”

    What you do is:

    -place down your first word in it’s proper location.

    -Make a new layer with your second word in it’s proper location.

    -Parent your first word to the second word.

    -Now rotate and position the second word. The first word will move with it. Position, Rotate and Scale them to where you would like these two words to end up.

    -Add your third word in it’s proper location

    -Parent your second word to your third word

    -Rotate, Scale and Position the third word. All other words will move with it.

    -Add your fourth word…. etc

    You’ll notice that there is a slow zoom during the entire ‘what country are you from’ animation. To do that simply create a null and parent the final word of the phrase to the null. Now animate the null for your slow zoom.
