Name Writing Animation

In animation we made a animation of us "writing" our names. The way we made this was we first used the type tool and typed our name, then we went backwards creating a new layer and erasing a small part of our name. I started with the "s" in "Roberts". When we finally erased our entire name we converted the layers to frames so we could make a frame animation. We also had to reverse the order of the frames so it could look like someone was writing my name.
