Create shiny rotating shapes with this quick After Effects tutorial. Without using even one keyframe. Animate one shape with the time expression, then delay the animation of the other ones with the valueAtTime expression.
To randomly colorise the shapes we use the random expression to define a start and end colour value.
How would you animate rotating shapes?
