I've seen this pop up here and there over the last months. i can't help but to find this somewhat cool looking.
however, from a design perspective I really don't get the point of hiding letters behind other objects in the scene. what's up with that?
is this a good or a bad design practice? what do you think? why?

Do what you want unless you have a client that doesn't approve.
To make it look more realistic I guess since putting stuff in front of it doesn't just make it looked slapped on
>>310624
It makes customer think you spent more time with it and generally looks really good if it's not overused

I mean it does make stuff less readable in exchange for a fancy show-off effect. so I would think this cannot be a good design practice and if anything it's a fancy looking gimmick.
I really want to have a good reason for using this kind of stuff because I like it. But I can't really put my finger on why I like it so much since every logic seems to speak against it.

also, clients wet themselves when you rotoscope that shit on their videos

I wondered how people put white text in the background in video clips, do you have manually move the text on each frame or do they track it somehow very easily?
>>310645
it's fairly easy.
you need to track the movement, apply the tracking to a null object and make said null the parent of the texts or anything you want to move along with the camera

if you want stuff to cover those texts (like in OP's pic), you will need to use the roto-tool which is super easy to use but a little time consuming if your footage isn't well lit.
I allows you to have the person/ scenery as the first read, and the text as the second read. In op pic, seeing the face of the person is more important than his name. You see the same thing in print all the time. Not rocket science guys.

but you could place that text to the buttom right and into the front. that would make it more readable overall. I mean, it would be super boring and less fancy, but more readable. and at the end of the day more readable = better design.

that would look like shit, and it would be smaller THEREFORE less readable.
on a 2nd note
>at the end of the day more readable = better design.
I don't know who told you that but it's completely retarded. Design with your brain.
