This tutorial shows you how to animate an electric whip using two methods either in After Effects or Flash (for a unique result). We’ll then brings the animation to life by adding a shiny glow, as well as some warped lightning. Lastly, we’ll cover how to put in the finishing touches to sell the overall effect.
In this tutorial we are going to create a fun animation with 3D boxes and end it with a particle logo/text reveal using nothing but After Effects and its default plug-ins. We are also going to use layer space transform to link lens flares to lights. Enjoy!
