eye blink
Hi Gang!
So I have this eye in illustrator for a logo, and I would like it to blink once:
I have each element in its own Illustrator layer – the black outlines as paths, and the yellow part and iris as individual shapes.
I am curious to know how you would approach this in AE.Thanks!

As usual with AE there are few options:
the most complex and elegant I can think of is to split the line elements as well and have separate layers for the top and bottom outline. The fill, iris and eye front outline can be precomped and a mask can be animated to erase them as the lid closes ( the top and bottom outlines animate).
Then use Duik ( https://duduf.net/?page_id=151 )applied to Puppet tool pins (3 on each line) to animate the top and bottom lines to close and open.Other option would be to just use Puppet Tool on the top and bottom outlines or distort them using Mesh Warp.
Third option is to animate shapes or masks in AE.

Brilliant, Ted!
Many thanks!!! Yes – I am familiar with DUIK’s tools. I mainly used them for inverse kinematics (walking, etc.) but never for other stuff.
Should be exciting.Here’s the result (only one blink at the beginning of the vid):
