# puppet tool animation Puppet Tool animation in After Effects is pretty cool. It allows you to deform the shape of an element over time to create complex movement. You are going to use the icon that looks like a pushpin. ![[b805735ec34dbc387d613f4a95cfdef8_MD5.jpeg]] The basic idea is to add Pins to your object in key places like joints and corners.
