more screenshots, click on the image to see full size version

 this first screenshot is a more zoomed in picture of the dots representing camera movements, you can see on the side that the 3 areas i have changed in this project for the camera movements are just position, scale and Z rotation
 this is just a small image to explain what these 2 boxes are, all the text layers have these 2 boxes checked. the square symbol on the right is to show that the layer has 3d enabled, enabling 3d means you can change more things about the type, use different angles and it also allows the camera to control the layer, a layer that doesnt have 3d selected can't be affected by the camera. the button on the left enables motion blur, this is the blurriness that appears when something is moving, this makes the whole thing look a lot more effective and makes the movement look soo much better. 
 you can see that all the text layers in the bottom half have 3d and motion blur selected. also to makes the camera work easier it is best to use a null object which is just a blank square in the middle of the screen, then tell the camera to follow it, this means you can put all the movements in the null area or even have more than one null area and the camera just follows their actions, this allows all the 3d actions to work a lot easier.
this is just a quick screenshot to show how long each video took to render, the first one was just a 15 second clip so didn't take very long but the others were the full video but with 2 different endings, i was expecting them to maybe take half an hour but one of them took over 2 hours. this is because of the large amount of files and actions involved in this video, i still want to go back and make a few slight changes before the deadline tomorrow but this will mean i have to render the video again and this will take a long time.
