how to do this…..text around composited person….

since that you can get it to go round and round her,the only thing you should do next is to duplicate the text layer.then detach the parts which should be placed in front of the girl by track matte and masks.place them over the girl layer and place the aborginal text layer under the girl layer.you might need to add some key frames for mask shapes,but it will not be very complicated.wish to be helpful.

sorry I don’t really follow…..
here is sort of what I’ve got. The sphere that the word is wrapped on can go round and round and round. But Like my first picture I want it come in….go around her (like a spiral), then off to the right……

The thing is … you have to combine a CC cylinder layer (with an angled line of text as source) with two flat text layers. It’s easy to hide the join behind the girl, so I recommend that you set up the angled line and cylinder so it passes behind the girl on the way in and the way out. The text in the cylinder would look like a coiled spring.

Otherwise, trying to mate the cylinder text with flat text (in front) could be painful.

Or you could use a 3D app such as Cinema 4D. 🙂
