In this lesson I'll show you how to animate the duck eyes and mouth using some very basic procedures.
Below is the duck head I'll be using.
Let's start by selecting the left eye and notice where the anchor point is located. Grab the Pan Behind tool and move it into the center of the eye. Do it for the other eye as well. For the tongue, move it's anchor point to the middle of the nostrils.
For the eyes I animated Position and Rotation. You can see pretty much how I wanted the eyes to move.
For the tongue I only animated Rotation in the same keyframes as the eyes.
For the duck beak I animated Position only and the timing of the keyframes were more random and not in sequence with the other animations.
I animated the hat about midway in the animation using Rotation only.
And here's the movie of the crazy duck. (Download the source files to view video)
