Hey Fred!
So you’re in a hurry, okay then, let’s do this. Take Zaxwerks Invigorator. This will be pretty simple, don’t worry.
1. Create a new solid.
2. Apply Effect: Zaxwerks > 3D Invigorator.
3. Click: Create 3D Text
4. Type in your text.
5. To animate, twirl down “Camera”, select all the stopwatches except “Camera Eye X”, “Camera Eye Y” and “Camera Eye Z”. Animating is pretty simple (play with the buttons and keyframe the movements just like you do with images, clips etc.)
To personalise your text, just click on the Button where there’s a red ball in it.
Hope this helps.
