in the first 10 sec. are you using a camera or just moving the text? trying to learn how to get the effect!

[destrado04]

@kbenetz6 I used a camera, and from what I can remember, it was the same camera across all four scenes, each one being its own AE composition, where the text is moving and changing. So the camera just does some general movement between areas of text. The camera is 3d, but I tried my best (it took a while) to keep everything on one plane and keep it far away enough to make it look 2d (this was during CS3, so this might have changed); to do so I animated the camera position and kept its pov still.

what program did you use for this?

[destrado04]

almost entirely aftereffects cs3; a sound editor for the sound

"the reason, there is no reason. who needs reason when you've got heroin" you should have added that part but this is still a great video

impressive mate but you missed the best bit off "i chose not to choose life, i chose somethin else"

[narniapooh]

this was FANTASTIC....so well done. any chance you can do the same thing but for the ending? this would be so good with the underworld song in the background :)
