Character Animation Endings?

I’ve seen this a lot on many strories. The character is showing the ending of a certain animation. Does anyone know how to do that?

Yes. So you got two ways:

  1. You use the zoom feature. You zoom and focus on another character or on another part of the scene. Then as the focus is away from the charatcer, have the character do the animation. Then when you refocus on the character, they will have the last part of the animation as their facial expression. (Bear in mind that you have to allow certain time to pass for the animation to finish and some animations take longer than others.)

  2. You can make a duplicate character. You put the duplicate character offscreen and you have them do the animation. Then you remove the character onscreen and place the duplicate character onscreen in its place. The duplicate character will have the last part of the animation as their facial expression.
