Re: Trapcode Form Text Animation - "Becoming a Legend"
by Carl Larsen on Feb 13, 2009 at 2:55:38 pm

Part of the reason the titles looked so organic in "legend" is that we comped in a lot real elements into the shot - you won't get that look using plug-ins alone. Cody Redmer, the lead compositor, used form to break up the title, but the smoke and sparks and distortion maps were driven by real elements we shot in the studio.

...by the way, we had a lot of fun capturing the live footage for the titles. In the end, we found burning the individual pages of a phone book with a hard back light gave us the look we were after.
