IS goes Motion Blurring

Messing with After Effects again. Saw this intro for a TV show this past weekend, I think it was for Ghost Hunters or something. Freakkky show!! anyways. I loved this awesome effect that they did with the letters kind of dissapearing away into the dark with a set of ghostly letters behind it. I had TiVO, so I rewound the commercial and recorded it. Watched it over and over again, and tried to animate the same effect in After Effects. After a couple of hours I stopped very frustrated with my self, had some spicy heart stopping curry and then went searching on GOOGLE for tutorials on how to make text blur away while making it do ten other things. Well I knew it wouldnt come out exactly like the commercial, but I try and set high expectations for myself. Hey you aim for an A and you can end up with a C, as long as you pass right.... Nah, maybe that worked in college, but I am a little more passionte about this than I ever was about shcool. Well, regardless of what I got in college, FINALLY I came up with this. I like the little effect it created, add some music, trying hard to synchronize but not close, and BADDA BANG BADDA BOOM>> IS Motion Blur
:( still not up to par? I know, I know... I am trying here people, give me a break..... JOKE>>
