Shape Animation
This shape animation is racking my brain!
Hey, I have been using After Effects for 2 years now and I’m continuously learning new tricks,
I am trying to replicate this line animation but also how the circle and arrow animate with the line seamlessly as if the circle being followed by the camera is drawing the line and wiggling with it.
If anyone has any tips on how i can accomplish this, i will be forever grateful.https://twitter.com/BVBTC/status/1384553422301503496?s=08

it could be a pre-defined line that is then revealed with mattes or trim paths. then doubled up and inverted etc.
I saw this vid today might get you close, but I think basing it all off one line and revealing it would give more simple control.

In the Window dropdown, take a look at the script for Create Nulls from Paths. In there is a Trace Path option. If you have a path drawn out, you can use the script to which makes a null layer which will follow the path. You can keyframe this position. From there, you can have your circle and other animation parented to this null.
The beauty of this approach is you can go back and adjust your path at any time.
