An on-the-fly tutorial using Cavalry to create a dynamic image duplicator setup for motion design, which I then import into After Effects.
Unlike my previous structured tutorials, this one is more informal and experimental, showing my real-time problem-solving process under a deadline. I demonstrate how to convert a group of images into an array, use that array as input for a duplicator, and apply behaviors like scaling with falloff to create smooth animations. I also cover keyframing position with easing to refine the motion.
