After Effects was a good solution; it does let one produce an animation of extrodinary dimensions - and of course it's text effects are second to none.  However Maya was necessary, even if it's ardious, as After Effects can't do the camera/sphere part of the animation.

(Asked by: username_0 on 2012-09-22)

I need to make a video with extrodinary dimensions.

The "screen" will have to be large enough to hold a very large amount of text and diagrams.... say 20,000 By 20,000 pixels. The text is going to be transitioned onto the "screen" one word at a time - synchronized with a voice over.

I'm then going to take this animation and wrap it around a sphere in Maya and have a "camera" follow the text/diagrams as they are revealed (with a big finish where the camera zooms out and shows the text has formed word clouds in the shape of continents).

Can someone suggest a tool or method I can use?
