I’m taking another course from School of Motion this quarter. I have always wanted to learn more about expressions in After Effects and now I will be diving into them for the next 12 weeks. This is my first assignment, we were tasked with animating this whole scene without using keyframes. All of the motion that you see is driven by expressions. We learned about the wiggle and linear functions this week and how to implement them into the scene. It was so much fun that I didn’t stop at the robots and animated the stars, the sun, and the smoke in the crater.
Used the wiggle function to add random movement to the head, arms, and claws.
Used an if/else statement to control the random placement of the selector button
