James Bond barrel intro

You might just want to download the template and edit in the way you like.

If you want to do it without the template, you need shape layers (cycles) and the graphic of the barrel. For the blood effect after the shot, you can use a solid in red with an animated mask. I prefer using a shape layer as mask as an alternative. This will also give you the option to use a shape animator like turbulent displace for the blood flow animation.

Find yourself a quick start tutorial for AE basics, then learn about shape layers and masks. As final lesson, get into track mattes and the shape animation presets like turbulent displace, wave, roughen edges.

Get the original intro or the template video for the timing. Timing is everything!
