Let's talk about things and tricks about little accents that make our animation more expressive. If we have a look at this logo of super Scylla, we will see that while measuring the race appear, why do I do it for I do it for strengthening the effect of beating parts of the logo. I watch a lot of works from beginners to professionals, and sometimes they do such effect for the sake of eloquence. It reminds me the episode from Batman perception of lasers to the uninitiated, but we are initiated with Bruce so we should know what we did for Firstly, to highlight the object among others. Secondly, to expression of moment. Thirdly, to add the impulse of the moment, by the final touch.
The most justified using of this effect is in statics. If we find a comics with a picture of momento hero, we will see the user of this event. These little lines that are clear to our brain like an input of a movement. It works with statics, you can imagine how powerful the effect of your animation will be. I didn't want to create just straight lines or simple geometrical forms. I decided to make these kind of triangles, rounds that disappear, and lines, lines that are not samely.
Let's have a look to all kinds of these elements. deal with them. We start from these triangles choose band two. And draw these kind of triangle. We can turn off the stroke. Let's go to do animation, open our shape layer, go to the contents, find their shape one and open path.
Put the first key, we can move this key by timeline because it will the biggest form of our object. And at the starting point, we can transform our object to this. This boy so put these keys, two keys and our object grows from small to big one. We move our timeline a little bit a bath bear edition that now we can't edit the corners of the object because they are closed. To open our mask of editing. We should click any corner with a breath sheet.
I grab it a little bit and change the value. Let's change the diamond of animation for quick appearing and disappearing under these keys closer to each other, the last key will be is in here can be is is Yeah, this is good. It has cooled appearing and disappearing. So I put the slide opposite, opposite the last key, press out plus closed square bracket. That's how we cut the layer. Now we'll see how to make these kind of triangles.
A piece of cake. So in Fisher just dabbled it, just Cointreau plus d, and with the help of rotation, I can turn it around, grab it, change the color a little bit. change these dot important. And I'm make several of these objects. We've covered the triangles. So let's talk about lines.
To create this object, one can use standard shape or rather stroke of a shape layer, but I use 3d stroke. Make a new layer, layer Use solid under a mask of our vision movement, I make this line so my stroke will move from one point to In other words, go on to the effects, find the trap code and choose 3d stroke. Okay, let me turn on the extras, we see that these plan is created, and we'll animate it by the way, 3d stroke has settings like Start and End. It will change for example, and we'll see that our line changes change its land we want the line to appear from point one to point two. That's animate and put the value zero move the timeline to there 100%. Here one can see that the line just appears.
Press you open the case changed the last key right click key assistant is in. And I'd like to change the graph a little bit. So as I'm this place to see our keys more comfortable. Move to two frames and put the key of start point then move to frames of the endpoint. Start value will be 100%. Now our line appears and disappears.
I can change the key of I can change the key to is out is in Open Graph Editor and change the speed of animation. Here is an admitted line 3d stroke is better than just shape stroke. Because in 3d strokes settings we can find deeper. So let's activate it. If we just leave it in this way, one can see this kind of widen, it can be also used. So we can see this sharp corners, but I use it in other way, if we change the value of tapers start to see that we can round the corners.
But if we change these values, we will be able to reflect to this big. So playing with his values, one can create a new form of an object not typical for a shape stroke. It is good in this way. But I'd like the stroke to begin with the thicker line and to end with a thin one. So close our graph editor. And in the middle of the keyframe, I'll change the value of thickness of our 3d stroke.
Here it is. We have Tam, oops, oh my god. 10. Yeah. But the keys, and by the end of the animation, I put there three, for example. But don't be shy.
Let's put there. Zero dot six, for example. While playing the animation, our stroke disappears. Awesome. Yeah. Cool.
The dimension now has its form. We add the expression and we do not Same, we make it more different. We've covered the triangle and the line. Everything is pretty clear. But don't forget that these objects cubed, make these amazing effect. So please use it, I share it here.
Let's create one more object these kind of round the round that bulbs this way. This is the kind of simplest form of classical animation that was made by working tools of After Effects. Let me describe how I did it actually. It may seem to be invisible, but sometimes somebody somehow we'll be able to find that These rounds disappear not in an easy way by scale or satellite this but dude, unusually do more than somebody ever and you will get more. Turn up everything again and make a shape. Use Ellipse tool with the press Shift make and edges circles.
Grab and move the end point to the center of our object. So select anchor point to press control and move it to the center and grab it. With the help of press control the anchor point starting to stick to the main points of the object. Let's animate the circle by position, press on the keypad, let it appear here and move to the side. We also can change the boss now it is trade. But if I select how pathline I will be able to slide these points and thereby change the territory of the boss By the way, there will be no any keys on the timeline.
Now the object has a weight off and as I've just said, do more and you will get more because the sky is the limit. Select the last key key Asst. In Open Graph Editor change this bit of animation of our circle And see that it starts quickly and ends more slowly. Now, press S on the keyboard to the key. Close growl Graph Editor breath you open the keys that the object appear with zero value. The first key has the scale, zero percent.
And after three four frames, it will have its maximum scale. In general, also we can use zero scale so our circle will appear and will disappear. Yeah, Santa's like this. But I decided to do it another way. Our objects will disappear from this point. So what should I do next, just ban to and draw these first brain, just just a mask.
Don't try to do it ideally. So I draw this kind of sausage. In the center I draw one more circle to make it visible. One can change the fill color of the shape but it's just for now. With the help of out and closed square bracket, we can add the layer move on crane to work. Here is our first frame.
The second frame will be draw according to our first frame. So draw the second frame and then third frame and for frame Okay, I created this kind of animation. Let's select all the frames take back the color of light blue one, then with the help of law so these two are so we can link all of the pieces of the main object that had been animated. And now all pieces will move all together according to our animation and the animation of the main object and they have out and close square bracket, we got the layer. So, something like that. Full frames that I have created for five minutes and my favorite Princip do more and you will get more.
By the way, I have said that these type of plans we can make with the help of standard shape, it behaves itself more standard than 3d stroke. But I've said that we couldn't change the form of the object. But to cover the topic, I'll show you how to create the form with the help of shape layer. to span to and draw a future bar of our line. It is very important to understand which point will be the start. So by animating the movement will follow from this point to this one, and I'll change them because I want the line to move this way and change the width of the stroke.
And look, the only thing that we can change is the taper so we can round the tape. Go to the shape, condensed, find the shape one, open it and go to the stroke. Here I can see a line cup. So it's a cap. Now it hasn't bought cup Do the round cup Look, the taper becomes round. I like it more it looks pleasant.
Okay, let's go to animation. To animate this line we should go to add. Here we can see this top click this DS and add these two imports. A Look, here it is open it. Here we can see Start and End values, food and zero percent and then move and 100% from two friends, we should estimate start. So put their zero percent and here put 100% change the keys to move them not linear.
All right click here is the end Easy out and again in when I put his out key one can notice kind of stretching of the line. I don't want the land to be a Flan sausage. So, by this ocean we can create a barren and disappearance lines like raise and lead to Open Graph Editor and tune the speed. So what can we also do with this line shape has a lot of modifications that is very cool. 3d stroke also has it but shape is more stable for the stroke is able to have the baby however, you know, that happens for error, but you should know about it shape is easy to work with then other plugins, if I take our line, we see that the the anchor point is not on the line, but in the center of the composition. You will see it when I pressed this tab safe zone.
So, this cross is a center of all the competition, go to the path booth the first point in the center and the second one straight up. If we add the repeater to this composition, so the repeater makes clones of our line. Open the repeater. One can change here, the numbers of copies. We'll discuss this a little bit later. But now that open transform of their obiter position is responsible for the symmetrical movements of copies with respect to the original one, put here, zero, and rotation is the turn of the corpus by his new rotation, we can easily do such kind of animation.
And I like this animation, but I'll add more Corbis let me be them, let it be hurting, cause this is my favorite number. So by using standard shape, we can make these simple band that's cool. Also, after we can scale it and use it in any other animation what is more important is not not to overdo it. For example, you can add and try everything in your animation and then turn off something to make the composition softer or more gentle. That though, I think that this is the end of our lesson, go forward, but don't forget to use these tricks.
