Back to the Future!
Hey, for any of you who are BTTF fans, I’m making a spoof off of the film. However, the glow effect the words have in the original movie I can’t duplicate because I have no clue. Does anyone know how to make that same glow effect? Thanks!!
Oh, and if you don’t know what it looks like, here’s a link for an example:

Look at the glow effect on “TO THE FUTURE”

I’d use CC Light Sweep

My god. I thought McDonald’s “I’m lovin’ It” tag was the worst use of “Shine” ever. It has been surpassed by the text/Shine in that trailer. As far as that light sheen in “Future”, you can check the archives. I wouldn’t search “Glow” though which is a different effect altogether. This is same effect used in every corporate logo and daytime TV ads. Light Sweep does it the easiest, but you can do it with animated/blurred masks as well.

Chris is right. Don’t over use cliche effects. Shine was cool in 1985 when they actually raytraced it on a Cray workstation. 20 years later it’s tired. Everyone has shine now.
My general rules are never copy anything directly, and don’t do things because they are the latest trend. Both of those make you look uncreative.
I’d rather fail doing something hard than succeed doing something easy.
