Fun trick with After Effects beta: as you can now transform textures on 3D models, you can do cool stuff like UV offset animation for facial expressions and lip sync.
If you want to give it a try, this character is free from Mixamo and has eyes, brows and mouth separately controllable.

The hardest working font in Manhattan
A story of a 150-year-old font you have never heard of – and one you probably saw earlier today.

If you're looking to make your own version of the Eurovision heart-shaped halftone effect in After Effects, Card Dance or Particle Playground are the way to go. The former renders faster, the latter is quicker to set up. Both can give you some really fun results! (This clip is Card Dance.)
