The task was to use text, text presets and the 3D camera in conjunction with the supplied audio to get a message across.

It did not go well. We will call the end result 'abstract' instead of bad, shall we?

So, I managed to get the 3D camera working with a 3D text layer which used an animation preset, but getting other images to work with the layer did not work well at all. Some images ended up warped beyond recognition when I tried to include them as 3D layers due to the scaling required. So instead, I kept the images as 2D layers and made a sort of montage to the audio, including some 3D text here and there.

I suppose, practice makes perfect?
