I think my big issue is the zoom effect. When the object shrinks down and is then zoomed in on, it should be quick and give the impression of motion.
I ended up using a Camera and Null layer, increasing the position to give the zoom effect, which works well EXCEPT it doesn’t actually look like a quick camera zoom, instead it looks more like I’m just scaling up the image.
I have motion blur checked on the layer, but it doesn’t seem drastic enough. Any ideas?
