  • how to make a suck in to effect

    Hi,

    i want to make an effect of two people (vector picto male and female) that are being suck in to something. Like a genie in a bottle. First i thought of doing it with scale en position keyframe and some motion blur, but with a genie effect the bottom of the genie narrows as he gets closer to the bottle. Is there a way to create this effect?

    the corner pin effect could be used to pinch in the bottom, as could mesh warp.

    cc flo motion might be worth taking a look at too, without the tiling option it starts to ‘suck things in’…

    I did something similar recently and the mesh warp worked great. Tweaking the bezier handles was where the magic started to happen, haha. Moblur helps a bunch too. Good luck!

    Best,
    Craig
