360°

(The video is fine, just not in HD)

I have done this in After Effect. The starts with “Can I not scaling eyes but only change its position and make it looks like the head is turning?” The answer is yes. This animation I basically only using masks, scaling, and positioning. The mask for eyes is a but tricky tho. I want to make the eyes disappear when it is out of mask, so I have to keep the mask stay when the eyes are moved. So I have to go to the eyes layer > Contents > Ellipse > Transform Ellipse, instead of go to the Transform we first see in the layer. I only creat 1 360°, I pre composed (actually I have rendered it separately) the composition and then duplicate it so it turns twice. As you see, I have more than one head and one body to make it seems like the hands, legs, and hair go behind the main body.

It was a struggle before, but when I try to complete it, I am more used to AE now. If by any chance, I want to keep the thickness of the hands and others while it is still turning. It may actually be easier if I work it out in C4D tho.
