Animation.
love it! the animation works really well.. I wish i knew how to do them! the only way i no how to do an animation is by doing an animated Giff in photoshop but they arent very good
There are a couple of ways to do it with flash. Either frame by frame erasing in reverse, which is way more intensive, or by animating masks. It can be a bit time consuming but it's pretty fun once you get close to finishing.
i thought Flash was the way to do it, having never used flash i might need to watch some tutorials as id love to get into a bit of animation!
Oh yeah. All kinds of tutorials available. It looks like the newer releases of photoshop can now handle more robust animation but I haven't played with it before.
This was done with flash in case you were wondering - erasing in reverse as Jon mentioned.
There is another way with Flash...
If you draw a single continuous line over any text, you can use this line as a guide tool, then you create a small shape, which will go from one end of the text to the other following the guide line, if you then set up some tweening points on each letter, you can add a nice flow to the way that the word writes out.
Hope this helps.
It's fantastic. I love the terminal from the "n" as the dot on the "i"
