Thanks, I’ll give it a shot.
I found this fantastic tutorial about animating with shape layers which will give me the round arm look that I want, (no squished shapes like I got from puppet pin) without having to use the BEND IT effect. This guy has some amazing tutorials.

Thanks again!

I think it’s a well made tutorial. Very thorough.
I have a few very minor suggestions, but even if you don’t apply them, it’s still a good tutorial.
On page 3, you might consider adding an image of the SOLO button and the PIN buttons, or where they are located, just in case anyone new to After Effects is viewing your tutorial. The same suggestion applies to the pick-whip on page 5.
