Fan Effect
I want to creat an effect where a layer of video folds up like a handheld fan. I’ve messed around with different effects for the last 24 hours and am no closer to a solution. Does anyone have any ideas?

Yikes! That’s a tough one.
I thought about it and I really cant think of a way to do that in AE. I’d probably do it in 3DS Max.
If your in a crunch, I can do it for you in Max. Drop me a line: realethan@gmail.com

It sounds like it would be simple to do, but it would take a long time to set up.
I would duplicate my video layer as many times as needed to create the different panels of the fan, masking off the shape of each panel. Making sure to leave enough overlat of course.
Don’t forget to have the anchor point for each layer at the point of rotation for the fan.
Then I’ll bet you could work out a cool expression so you only need to animate one layer.But if you’ve got someone offering to do the work for you, why bother doing it yourself?
