I need a guidance in a proper direction.
I am working on a thanksgiving animation card and wanted to emulated leaves thrown up/falling down effect with individual letter forms.
I would like individual letters kind of explode in a puff from the bottom of the screen (each letter has a unique color), then they slow down in the middle of the screen and start to fall down in a swirling fallen leaves fashion. As they fall down they assemble into the text a couple lines long. This text is a real thank you note. As they assemble into the text they change to a uniform color.
Please suggest which filter or combination of filter/effects I should look into to accompllish such a look.
Thanks in advance.
