I want to recreate a logo animation from a video and am having trouble figuring out how to attack it.
I've already recreated the logo in full, complete with paths. The animation has a clock face in the background that is skewed and is rotating.
I'm not an animation guy but this seemed like a fun project to explore but I might have bitten off more than I can chew.

I'm wondering if this is a better project for blender or if there is a good way this could be done in gimp. My target is to make an animated png.

Here is the logo in action:

Thanks for any advice.

This spinning clock is doable if you first make all your animation from top/front view:


Then apply exactly the same transformation to all layers (eg perspective tool):


Edit:
sorry, spinning in counterclockwise direction

Just what I was looking for. I'll give it a go.
Thanks!

Did you have a way to batch perspective the frames?
No way I can see to enter repeatable values into the perspective tool. I guess I could use guides and snaps, but just wondered if I've overlooked something.
Thanks.

Thanks fluffybunny,
I'm still getting my footing with the animation package and working with frames. I was looking for a way to batch apply to all the frames so I never considered linking. Once I merged back all the frames to layers I was able to use linking perfectly.


I'd certainly like to check it out. It may be in vain though as I didn't think the quality loss for a single color gif would be so bad. I had wanted to use apng but it looks like adding the plugin to gimp is a bit of a hack. I should have done a bit more research before starting this project.
I think it had too much detail but it turned out horrible and I hadn't even added the front logo yet.

If you are up for a challenge, I never did get any hits on this.

Thanks to everyone for the help. I still learned a lot which was one of the goals.

Well done, akovia!
You remember that you can put shadows to give it a little more relief, like the logo that you show up.

Thanks Yafu
It looks really crappy if indexed and transparent. But RGB with a white background actually looks ok.
Too bad apng never really took off. We could really use a better platform for animations IMO.
Cheers

It looks really good!
