As first the rectangles appear (already figure out with shape masks and track matte) But then I want to make the "paint" drip off it and I can't figure out what method I should use. Im a newb at after effects and I mostly learn from tutorials but I can't find anything specific enough to help me. Please give me advice I witch direction should I look.</p>
