Lining up letters to make the animation work.
My idea was to take the regular typeface of the title, and animate the claw like letter Es to make it so the claws extend after the title fades in. The meant having to separate pieces of text so that the animation would not affect other letters.
Keyframing the animations.
In order to animate this title, I used black boxes that would shoot to the right of the screen so that the claws look as though the extend. I also keyframed the opacity of the entire thing at the start and end so that it would fade in and out respectively.
The finished draft.
