stage one!

Stage one of the animation starts off with title of the animation, 'the rich list'

Luckily 'rich list' is 8 letters long and my song choice begins with 8 slow beats, each one a blow of a trumpet, so i timed the falling of each letter in time with the music which worked really well.

I also created the feather shadow backdrop on the animation which would would throughout the whole video, using a mask then feathering the edges, i feel it just adds a really nice finish to the otherwise quite empty video.

Then for the next part of the animation the camera has to zoom into the H of rich for a transition to the next scene, so to do this i created a camera layer, then a null object, set the null object to be the cameras parent layer and with each layer having 3D selected i zoomed in on the H, rotating at the same time.

Slowly having the H fill the screen and has a black background for the next layer.

Here is the keyframes used to controll the null object into zooming into the H.
