If you have seen the tv show Fringe, you likely know what I am talking about. Any time that they introduce a new area, like a city or something, they have the name written in the sky. The letters maintain their position relative to the background and then they pan around. I have seen similar techniques used on Linus' youtube videos. I want to know, how hard is something like this to pull off? Is it hard to design/animate? Does it require a lot of computational power? Obviously, I know next to nothing when it comes to this stuff, so any basic explanation would be very appreciated.
@1920_1080p_1280_720p I can answer this: You know how photoshop has layers right? Well video editing and video effects software have layers too. Most likely what they did is use Adobe After Affects.
Kind of right. There is a feature that allows you to make a 2d object into a 3d object. You do have to do somethings yourself though. Here is something I did in After Affects for my internship that they never used:
Now while that globe is indeed 3d it wasn't originally. Also it didn't spin either. It took me about 4 hours to do. What they did was a lot simpler and properly took 10-15 minutes.
