    Hey everyone,
    a little help would be appreciated on this one. I am going for a bloody text look, similar to that in the movie ‘300’ when it opens up, but I want it to look as though the blood is splattering across the screen and the text “War Room” is the result of the splatter. Any tutorials out there? I am familiar with Aharon Robinowitz’s tutorial on bloody dripping text, but that is not what I am after. I want a splash/splatter across the bottom of the screen, with the words War Room splattering along with the run-off excess blood.
    Thanks so much,
    Matt

    I haven’t seen 300 (shameful I know) but you might look at Andrew Blood Splatter here:

    Maybe you can sub in some bloody text for the splatters that Andrew uses (or combine that with Aharon’s tut).

    Plus, Andrew also has the Riot Gear FX set that has some ink spatters

    Hey… I spent a few hours one Saturday a couple of weeks ago just spattering sheets of paper with ink. I scanned them in and after using Photoshop to take them out of the paper background imported them into AE (7). If you create a mask that is similar to the shape of your ink spatter, yet smaller, and then animate the mask expansion from a negative value (so that none of the spatter is visible) to a high value (in which all of the spatter is visible), you’ll get the effect of ink – or blood – spattering against a surface. Throw down a grungy-looking font and you’re on your way to a cool looking “300 style” title effect. I’m not sure if this is what your looking for, but you can modify things to better suite your vision…

    Also if you want some more ink spatter scans just let me know…
