Text Shoot

After a long line of problems trying to animate the text, I decided to scribble a small part of each line out in black pen (from the right to the left) until it would be a black line completely. When reversing the shots back, it would reveal the text from the scribbled line. This was a very lengthy process as I had to shoot from directly above the text.

I also decided to invert every image of the text, as my animation had a very dark feel to it, I thought it would be more effective, in keeping with the rest of my shots and unique to make each photograph negative, so the text and the scribbled ink would be white on a black background. To do this I created an action in Photoshop saved it, then used the batch process tool to apply the same action to every image. This saved me a lot of time as I left the programme running.
