Animating type off page as particles
Hey guys just wondering if anyone has animated type flying off of a page. i was thinking of using Particular but don’t want just flying type but want the type to start as a sentence written on a page, then fly off of it. Anyone have any suggestions?

I have done it with an animation text expression in AE. And I have done it by hand matting 30 some letters (sample on my demo reel) If there arent too many letters I prefer to do it by the hand made approach so you can customize your individual letters as they fly off. Have a few letters maybe be more playful than others. A particle system cant give you that personal motion that hand animating can. If you dont need that, a particle system is fine.

i want a lot of letters flying off the page so don’t want to do each individual letter by hand. what is the expression you used to do it?

Rob,
I’ve used just the animation presets for type with some timimg and position modifications, works nicely without too much effort.
Certainly depends on how involved you want to get.Brian

Geez, there are so many…
Animation Presets/Text/Animate Out:I’ve used:
Random Fly Off
Rain Characters Out
Slide off by CharacterExplosion – under Miscellaneous is pretty cool too

Hi Brian, This is Scott.
If you were asking about my reel, I use the ‘standard’ software.
– illustrator – photoshop – AE –For 3d I use Electric Image (im their most recent featured artist on their website) also some Maya and im just starting to train in Cinema. EI is my favorite, but I am learning Cinema because it is used by such a large amount of our industry. It makes sense. I use Particle illusion a lot as well.
Plug ins – where do I start – Sapphire are my favorites, best quality.
All the trapcode stuff, Knoll LF Pro, Final Effects, Damage & Delirium,
I could go on but you get the picture.Where I have invested a lot of money, is in some of the visual effects
footage and source material. I have over 300 gigs of source files, animations and special effects footage I call on for compositing or achieving an effect.SuperNova
