Fire Text Manipulation

 

To apply the fire filter we first created a basic black text saying penny.

We duplicated the text 3 times making one Red, one Yellow ad one orange. 

We resized the text and aligned the different colours just slightly of from one another so they look like they fade. I then merged the three colours and rasterized them to make them an image.

I then used the blue tool to give the effect like they blended and blended into each other. I only blurred the text slightly,

I then used the liquify tool to move the text to give it the effect like it was on fire and the flames were flickering. 

I then applied a stronger blur so it appeared more realistic.

I then duplicated the text and made inverted it to appear upside down.

I then lower the opacity so it seemed reflective of the ground.
