Assignment #6

My Name from Marcy Elliott on Vimeo.

I started out by creating a textbox on the stage, and typing my name. Then, I scrolled through most of the fonts until I found one that I liked. After selecting my font, I changed the size of a few of the characters, as well as the height and width of my name as a whole. Once I created the right look for my name, I keyframed its position. I then created a mask from the text, and ran an image of tiger stripes behind the mask. As the mask increases in opacity, the opacity of the original text decreases. (The same thing happens in reverse when the image fades back to the original text. Finally, using the pen tool, I created a path for the text to follow and exit the screen. Hope you like it!
