This time experimentation and risk is the only thing to make my animation look and work better. I watched online tutorials for making special effects in After Effects. These got my attention ‘Growing vine animation and camera pan and zoom with null object’. The purpose of the effect is to ‘grow’ or appear a design of your choice moving along with a camera using a null object.
