Hey there, this is my take on one of the animations. These are simple shape layers which grow on the first value of the scale (I unlinked the scale). First I had only two, bottom and top, but it kinda felt funnier when there are 4 different ones emerging in the same moment. I did a few others but this one I like the most, thanks for the class will look for Part 2! Here is the gif I prepared in Photoshop after rendering
