I don’t remember, but I probably made a default 50mm camera and then scaled the text instead of adjusting the camera settings. It all worked out in the end, but figuring out the proper camera settings would be the “right” way to do it, for sure. There are a couple of photos of the filming of the OT crawl where you can see the camera and the back lit crawl which could be used for figuring out the dimensions of things.

I think the wiggle scales down so adding it to a comp is a good idea. I also did a logo zoom the other day (I originally used the TFA logo) and I noticed how the speed is hard to get right since it’s not linear, I ended up having to do a lot of keyframes. Perhaps it would be a good idea to make the logo recede in 3D instead of just scaling it down since I assume that was originally done with a camera move as well. It was also tricky to make the logo look right as it scales down, it’s supposed to blur in a certain way, similar to the crawl.
