It's only four seconds, but that four seconds can seem like a long time. So what we're gonna do is have a look at motivation. So we're gonna open up motivation.comp, and that's in 02_05Motivation if you want to follow along and you have access to the exercise files, you can open that.

It occurs when one action clearly shows that another action is about to take place, so we're gonna imagine that this text is a car. So we're gonna exaggerate the movement by adding something to it at this stage, and if we play it, you'll see what's happened is…
