DC SUMMER LOOP

Rowing Time

How do we spend our summertime here in DC?
Well, just taking an endless trip through The Potomac River, being stalked by some annoying mosquitoes.
This animation is my contribution to the #DcSummerLoops entry organized by Duke & Duck.

Is this cheating?

The selected animations got to be exposed at Dupont Underground.

Look At Expresion

I used this expression to keep the oars always pointing to the hands while having their axis in those rings.

lookAtLayer = "Paddle Target";
L = thisComp.layer(lookAtLayer);
p = L.toComp(L.anchorPoint);
d = thisLayer.toComp(anchorPoint) - p;
d[0] = (d[0]==0)?1:d[0];
rotation + radians_to_degrees(Math.atan(d[1]/d[0])) -90*d[0]/ Math.abs(d[0]);
