Sometimes animating things are really messy and problematic. Its main purpose to make a feeling of fancy, provides a better user experience, but when it does not make a good impression, then all the effort goes to the trash :)

Although somewhere I think this is kind of stuff, which is hard to achieve and not improves a lot... because this is a problematic animation - this is something you got to understand - I somewhere feel that you are right. There are rules, which - but not granted - can make things smooter... some are easier to apply, and some are harder.

Your solution is not something which I can do or would event know where to start with... so would try with the above mentioned rules :)

Lets start with the easier ones... and lets see do you feel that, it is better, or worse, or the same. (Also can be told animation impressions are subjective... so) lets see what you think guys!

Please share your opinion :)

This animation is better!
