There’s no 3D filter I could use, like in Photoshop? Wrap a solid color layer around a sphere, and perhaps use keyframes to change the diameter of the sphere? Or how about an effect to shape the text (arcs, fisheyes, etc.) and warp it like a balloon? Or even create a static image of a balloon with the words and then just animate it closer and closer to the camera?
I don’t have rigs and back drops. Not to mention filming a balloon inflating without the interference of a person inflating it…know what I mean?
