A guiding hand

I actually made a mock of that very thing, I can't find it right now other than on the tv screen here:



Good news, you can do it all in AE. Bad news, you doing to need to learn alot about nesting compositions, nulls and 3d space. Try some youtube basics and go from there.

So if you are listening why are you not doing? This is classic procrastination right here. Yes break it down into chunks but that doesn't change the fundamental point I and probably others keep banging on about.

There's a difference between being spoon fed the way you've asked about it and being spoon fed from a tutorial. A tutorial is only designed to get you up to speed on something or specific elements, it's not going to make you an expert overnight - I've never used After Effects which is why I'm not making any specific comments on it but I get the impression it's a powerful piece of software if you know how to use it properly.

I get the impression that what you want is for somebody to say oh click on this, that and the other to do that.

Ok I spent 10 minutes knocking this up, its the basics of the animation and layering so you can explore and get an idea how it works. To fully understand it look into After Effect codes (I've used a simple code to make the animation move forever, you can use key frames). Look into nulls and how they can be used to animate objects. Layer masking (how I've done the colour) and how I've nested a 3D comp into a 2D one to make the background etc.

Thanks so much. I’ll look at it tomorrow😁
