Earlier today SoldierKnowsBest released a video explaining that he was going to do a video intro contest, similar to what Jon4Lakers did a few years ago. His fans would make video intros and post them as responses to a video of his choosing, then he would announce the winner and they would recieve a 50$ iTunes giftcard. I really dont care about winning, I just wanted to make a cool intro. If I win, thats even better, but there is some good video intros I have seen so far so you never know. I pieced my intro together using simple effects in Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro CS3. During the productions of this small and harmless slip I encountered two Blue Screens of Death (Windows user still, pfft) and a hard drive failure. So after going through all that hell, I hope you like the video!

Animated Text TutorialIn this tutorial I show the viewers how to make a cool and more or less complex text animation style using presets in the Adobe After Effects suite. It looks hard but it is super easy! Remember to rate, comment, and subscribe!
