That’s pretty neat. I’ve used some Eyecandy stuff in photoshop to do chrome before, but I never thought of doing it with just different curves and layers. Thanks. Maybe this combined with some other stuff might work out.

I have Trapcode; that’s kinda what I was thinking of trying, thanks. Either that, or maybe trying to build a person-shaped blob out of particles and animate a mask to change from the real person to the particle blob underneath. Thanks.

That’s what I figured. I’m taking a Maya class in the fall (which means I’ll have a system with Maya on it to play with), but I still would like to try a simple version solely in After Effects. Thanks.

Only for a few minutes. I’m going to try that next. I may just use what I have now with an ink blob photoshop layer instead of the text, and have it melt away revealing the text. Either way, this part of the project is on hold for the moment; the guy I’m doing it for changed his mind and now wants a different intro. Thanks everyone for the help.

Looks good until the 3 sec mark, then not so much. -
Thanks for the quick response. I tried your suggestions, and its looking much closer to what I’m going for. Video here:
The first half looks great; I scaled it up with turbulent displacement and added bevel alpha. I like it better without the matte choker actually, gives it a nice ink look. However, about half way through, when the text starts to scale close down to 100%, it starts looking kinda odd, and the ending doesn’t look good at all. Any thoughts? If I can get it to convincingly go from that halfway point to a large single ink blob, I can reveal the text through it, but I can’t seem to get it to come together well. I tried animating the matte choker a little bit to glob it together better in the end, but it doesn’t look so great.
Thanks. (Sorry if any of the questions I’m asking are dumb ones; I’m pretty new to AE)
