Hi Blazej,

I would approach this with a custom font with your foot shapes assigned =
to letters, then use the animated-type tools in AE to make the feet =
appear. Let us know if you need help animating type using the AE type =
engine.

If you can find a font that already has footsteps, great, otherwise, you =
can create your "feet" in Illustrator and paste them into a font utility =
like Fontographer. Once you've done the upfront work of the custom font, =
the rest of the work in AE should be really simple.

Good luck,
Brian

offset of all of them?
