Happy Holidays!
I know I promised a new recipe today, but I didn’t want to miss this opportunity to wish all my friend, family and readers a very Merry Christmas, Hanuka, Kwanzaa and a happy new year. Check back next week for another recipe (trust me, its a good one).
http://www.vimeo.com/8030135This short clip is made in After Effects using a couple presets: “Distribute”, “Sure Target” and “Falloff”. Sure Target and Falloff handle the motion between text segments with minimal key-framing and Distribute is very useful for randomly distributing the text in 3D space without spending any time actually moving layers.
I plan on putting together a tutorial for this (or a similar) effect. By using the presets and being careful about your layer management you could animate a few hundred layers of text or images in minutes.
