    Posted by Jeremy Gray on November 5, 2008 at 9:46 pm

    I am trying to get an effect that has a bunch of pictures and as the camera zooms out it reveals that all the pictures are making up a web site address. I am using AE CS3 and am kind of stumped on how to do this. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Jeremy

    Card Dance and Shatter can automate the collapse of the images but that may not be what you want. A web address is a long string of characters with weights that will depend upon the typeface. You can build this many ways but you’ve still got tons of itty bitty photos making up 55 of the screen and white is the other 95%. That’s a big project. You’re going to want to study the “infinite zoom” types of tutorials and most of them depend upon a trick to hide a transition, something like a cloud or plane obscuring the lens.

    Give us a bit more to go on, what’s the address? What’s the typeface?
