Now I know you want to make everything you touch the most amazing thing you've ever done, but at the same time, you're going to run into small budgets and short schedules, and sometimes you just got to get stuff done. So in those situations, you've got to reach into your bag of tricks and pull out something. You can execute very quickly that you know how to do, and that won't take you a long time. So what I'm going to show you today is one of those tricks. And I didn't even come up with this one, my good friend, Kyle Predki and incredible animator. He came up with this move, which oddly enough, I call the Predki now Kyle and I used to work together and I saw him do this over and over and over again on different projects. Joey Korenman (00:57): This was just sort of his go-to move whenever he needed to animate something and he didn't have time to think about it. So I stole it from him and I'm going to teach it to you, which he's actually cool with because I'm giving him credit. And I posted a link to his website, along with this lesson. What I'm hoping it does though, is give you some ideas about some things you can do that can then go into your bag of tricks and you can pull them out whenever you need.

Now let's hop into after effects and get started. So like I said, this is just going to be a tutorial to show you guys one trick. Joey Korenman (01:37): And I'm not usually a huge fan of tutorials that just sort of show you one trick. Um, but this is actually a little different, um, you know, when you're animating stuff and you're, you're flying and you got to get stuff done, sometimes you just got to pull one of your tricks out of your bag of tricks. Now this trick, I call it the Predki and it's named after a good friend of mine, Kyle Predki, uh, who was an animator at toil. Um, and I saw him do something like this on a few projects and, uh, I really liked the way it looks. Um, and so I sort of stole it. Um, and, uh, you know, a wise man once said that, uh, you know, the best artists steal. Um, so I stole this from Kyle, but I am giving him credit. So hopefully that's okay. Joey Korenman (02:22): So what I'm going to show you is a first of all, how you can get this kind of bouncy, cool cookie animation, um, and then I'll show you of course, a way to customize it, um, and kind of make it your own and really make it flexible. All right. So let's start out, um, with a new comp, um, and let's just make this, you know, your standard 19 20, 10 80, and I'm just gonna make a star and we'll just do something really, really simple here. Um, just to show you the, the concept of this, you know, one of the most common things you're going to do in motion design is have something, you know, have like a background or an empty screen and reveal something right. Type or a logo or whatever it is. And there's, you know, an infinite number of ways to do that. Um, and Mo we know some of my favorite ways were just by using good animation and making things move in an interesting way. Joey Korenman (03:16): So to use the Predki, uh, if we go back and we just kinda look at this, you know, kind of in slow motion here, you can see that there's rotation happening. There's, you know, these letters are scaling up each of them from zero, and it's almost like they're on a spring kind of, you know, swinging back and forth like this. Right. So the way I set this up is I, uh, I first moved the anchor points. Okay. So I'm gonna hit Y and Y lets me click the anchor point and move it around and I'm going to move it. So it's down and off to the side a little bit. Okay. And the reason I do that is because now when I rotate that layer, it kind of rotates like it's on a spring. Right. And the idea is I want to have this thing start scaled down and maybe here, and then as it scales up, I want it to swing back and then kind of land.
