Creating a Follow-Through Zoom Effect That Syncs with Trim Paths in After Effects

I would like to create an effect that zooms into the logo and follows through the movement, similar to the effect Gretel NYC used for the NYC FC rebranding.

So far, I’ve built the Trim Paths animation and established the core movement of the logo elements.

What I’m struggling with is creating an effective zoom that works in tandem with the existing motion. The goal is for the zoom to follow the rhythmic flow of the logo, so both the camera movement and the animation feel unified and help convey the brand’s core meaning and energy. I’ve included a video for reference in the text.

You may want to use the Graph Editor in After Effects to adjust the flow and speed of the animation. Here's a tutorial that should help: https://adobe.ly/4jgRavd
