Does anyone know of a good tutorial for a Matrix bit streaming effect like in the movie (and no, the one at flashkit.com is horrible and nothing like in the movie).

I'm trying to find tutorials so I could create one with the Japanese characters, the white highlight streaming down, the numbers all going down in a patterns, shifting left and ride, fading in and out, etc.

Thnx,

Well, do you have the movie by any chance? It's the bit stream effect directly from the beginning of the beginning, after the scene with Trinity. Try downloading the first part of the movie maybe - I have the DVD, so I can't really show you anything offhand.

Actually, go to http://whatisthematrix.warnerbros.com/

There, you'll see the exact effect I'm talking about.

That looks excellent!! Very good work. All it needs is japanese characters mixed with numbers, and that white highlight randomly running down from the bottom characters.

Keep up the great work; I'm going to have to go over the code to understand the concept and memorize it.

Keep this threat posted :)

you might want to randomize opacities on the duplicated movie clips to give more perspective to it....
