  • The 100: Opening Credits. How to ?

    Posted by Jp Brochu on December 20, 2014 at 6:00 pm

    I would like to achieve something similar to the opening credits of « THE 100 » TV series. Not the whole thing, but simply the effect on the letters of the names.

    Example here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFa7_OK5vFQ

    Does anybody have a rough idea how to achieve this?

    Thank you!

    I just tried a rough test and got a similar effect by converting text to masks to animate in sections of the letters, then added the griddler effect. Knocking the rotation by +1.0º gives it the offset look and then play around with the text opacity. Only did a quick test but hope this helps!

    I was able to achieve something close to the effect using fractal noise + mosaic in a precomp to drive a displacement map effect on the text. Obviously, my attempt needs some refinement, but it might be a good starting point for you.

    Your best shot is a real 3d program. Even element should be able to do something similar.
