    You could use the puppet tool to animate a letter.

    Hi, thank you to both. But I don’t know 2d animation, and I must deliver this homework in a short space of time… I wonder, if there is a way to do it with iExpressions of mamoworld? or any other script please….?

    You can’t just slap on a script and have it make you a Pixar animation.

    That’s a brilliant set of Youtube videos. A lot of it can even be applied to static imagery (my forté).

    Thanks for the link.

    Kind Regards,
    Rich

    If you like to animate static images I would check out Mettle’s Freeform Pro:
    https://www.mettle.com/product/freeform-pro/

    It’s basically a 3D Meshwarp.
