Heroes Text?

[DarkMaverik]

Ok... So, new to the forums, Hi everyone! And I've a question, with the hopes that one of you fine directors might be able to help me with...

I'm doing a short adventure film with some friends for a contest (being the resident director wannabe, I was asked to film and edit), and I want the opening credits to be more interesting than just text obscuring the screen.

You know how in the start of every episode of Heroes, the title is written physically ON a prop or backdrop in the episode? (A similar technique is seen used in LOVE HURTS by Terence and Shariff Nasr featured in the last episode of TBSFITW) Well I want something like that.

You know... Put credits physically ON fences, tree's, water and grass etc.

I have at my disposal Ulead VideoStudio 11, and Adobe After Effects CS3... (My camera is a Cannon FS100 if that's at all important) Fist of all, with my current editing programs is this possible? And secondly, are there any tutorials anyone knows of explaining this effect? (Or any particularly nice/bored forum members who'd be kind enough to give a detailed explanation?)

I'd really appreciate any help I can get on this. :)

you should be able to do it in after effects.

you should be able to do it in after effects.

I kinda thought that'd be the case. But alas I only got it this week, and I've yet to master it's intricacies. It's taken me this long to work out how to set an object as transparent ^^;

That may be just the thing I need. Thanks for that WSNP. Hopefully now I'll be able to make an interesting introduction sequence... Now I just need to mess around with text options to make them pivot in on the Z axsis to flatten them against the background...

EDIT:
Never mind... I figured it out. Thanks again for the help guys.
