Simple. Make a mask of the dog on one layer and animate your paint brush on your other layer. Your paint brush will fill in the masked shape.

I imagine you could do this pretty easily by using the motion sketch tool.
1.Record yourself scribbling a bunch on the screen with the motion sketch tool recording on a null object layer.
2.Then create a new solid and use the pen tool to make one single point mask.
3.Next copy the “position” attribute from the null object and paste it into the “mask shape” attribute of your solid layer.(Your mask should now be a line that follows the path of what you recorded in the motion sketch.
4.Then all you have to do is add the effect>render>stroke to the solid layer and play with and keyfrane the “end” attribute to make the line animate on.
5.I would do this with a couple more solid layers with different motion sketch recordings, layer them on top of each other and then once it looks like it is filling up pretty well.
6.Make a Matte that goes on top of all of this so that the lines look like they are filling in a certain shape, i.e. 2 headed dog.
7.Lastly, fade up your final image, i.e. 2 headed dog, all colored in and solid, on top of everything, over a few frames.
That should give a pretty similar effect. Let me know if that helps or doesnt make sence. Hope you get it worked out.

Haha, I didn’t even know it was that easy. Shoot, my explanation was way long winded. Thanks Seth, your way is much easier. I didn’t even know you could animate brush strokes like that. Learn something everyday, thank you!

Seriously. That of the 2 dogs must be the simplest shot in the whole movie!
There is some amazing motion graphics going on there! :))solution: use on a solid ‘vectorpaint – animated strokes’ and a trackmatte on top of the 2 dogs

there’s an effect called scribble that will fill in anything with an alpha channel. give that a try

Wow thanks for that link! That stash DVD magazine is a fantastic idea, I’m suprised I’d never heard of it before. Does anyone here subscribe to that?
