PowerPoint Animation ENGINE Unleashed | 5 Killer Projects

Let's get straight into the Real Essence and Aim of creating this Boot Camp.

The AIM is to change the Perception, perception, that, PowerPoint is just a presentation design tool. Right after the completion of the first 5 to 6 brutal Projects,  your thinking and imagination will be on some another level ( regarding the value & opportunities this tool will create for you ) and I hope the very first project [ Anti-Aircraft Radar System ] is only enough for changing the perception completely.

We are going to forcefully OVERCLOCK the Microsoft PowerPoint, to get the most out of it to achieve something extraordinary Beyond Presentations designs, and that's where the NEW BEGINNING of Powerpoint would kick off.

Ideas are very rare and unique. Sometimes they are very simple, and most of the time they are really complicated to imagine. Whatever the case is, You need such a Powerful, Fast, Lightweight tool ( with a smooth learning curve ), that is just all in one, all-time be your Right hand, to ILLUSTRATE and ANIMATE your Crazy ideas in a matter of few seconds and minutes, and this Boot Camp is all about Proving How PowrPoint could be your evergreen Right Hand, whether you are an Entrepreneur, Business Men, Science Teacher, Programmer, Freelancer, running a Startup, Consultant or a Content Creator like a Youtuber, Story Teller, Travel Vlogger, etc, you need Graphics, you need Animations to convey your message ( in a proper way ) to your target audience.

So what's a good better and easiest way to illustrate and animate without investing extra Time & Money on other complicated Graphic & Animation Design tools like Adobe illustrator and Adobe After Effect.

Why not discover first, all the Undiscovered Capabilities, hidden features like Hidden Transform, Hidden Triggers, Triggers to Triggers base animation design, Hammering PowerPoint so hard with a lot of animations to make it fully uncomfortable to Run to check where would be the final Edge. So that's why I told you earlier that we are going to OVERCLOCKED Microsoft PowerPoint. To get Maximum performance from your GPU, you do what, simply, have to Overclock the GPU, likewise that, in order to turn every single idea, every single thought to be illustrated and then to be animated, we need to first test PowerPoint in such a way that it would be able to catch all of our thoughts, deep thinking, creative imaginations and allows us to think with full freedom and trust. 

So let's discuss the Projects, and what you will learn in all of those crazy projects.

1. Anti-Aircraft Radar System:

This is the very first Super Advance & Interesting Project, inspired by a very intense scene in Hollywood Movie named Battleship. When Aliens were attacking the ship, so in response the Navy armed forces launched Missiles at them, so while watching that movie I really liked the visuals of that one particular scene. So I thought, why not re-create the same visuals of that scene in PowerPoint with a little bit more enhanced modification. Inside After Effect you can design any type of visual but inside PowerPoint ( with a limited tool set ) it's really challenging and difficult to craft something like that, that looks amazing and Professional.

After Completing this Project, I bet, you will be Pro at using 4 Types of ( Entrance, Emphasis, Exit & Motion Paths base ) PowerPoint Built-in Animations. Along with that, you will learn a lot of advanced illustration design Secrets tricks, and techniques. Alignments, Selection Pane, Merge Shape Operations, Grouping vs Union Approaches. What to do to reduce the number of animations from the Animation pane to improve the Overall Slide Speed ( the rate at which the slide renders the animations).

We will be hammering PowerPoint with more than 60 to 70+ animations per slide in this project ( 40+ animations all running together on one single click), and we will see what would happen to PowerPoint when we assign 1000+ animations to 1000+ graphic elements on one single Slide. At that time, even with very decent System Specs and with Powerful GPU, your system starts frustrating to run lightweight PowerPoint. The Aim of doing all of these Crazy things, is to simply learn how far we can go, and where things start becoming difficult to handle so that we could find the solution or go ahead with some alternative if that particular problem has no solution at all.

Sometimes when you start bombarding a lot of animations even with having good system specs and graphic cards you will experience huge lags while running animations, so how to deal with the performance issues, we will see that too.

2. Hidden Triggers [ Secret Trick ] :

ln this section, we will explore the mysterious world of  "HIDDEN TRIGGERS". We will do two projects in this section to solidify our learnings and we will see the Practical usages where we can use Hidden Triggers in our content.

The very first project is all about "Booting Windows 11".  We will create the fake illusion of booting Windows 11 inside from the computer (3D Model) with the help of hidden triggers base animations. We will learn how to create a chain of triggers ( Triggers to Triggers ) and how to handle them.

3. The Snooker Game Animation

In this section, students will sharpen their illustration skills while designing the Snooker Game Table and Stick, then later they will animate the graphics that they have illustrated. This Project will give them more confidence to control the timing of when and where they have to place which graphic element to get the desired result.

4. Sky Diving From International Space Station

In this project, we will let the Astronaut do the Skydive from International Space Station. The primary intent of this project is to Level up the game of Rotation and Scaling in Powerpoint. You will be a Magician of PowrePoint right after the completion of this section. It's all about having a strong grip on how you rotate and scale up or scale down graphic elements along with rotation, and this section focuses on that specific part.

We will create 3 Scenes from 3 different Camera positions, 1 view inside from the hatch of the ISS, the second view from the top, and the third one from the left. All the animations would be set up on Triggers.

5. Elevate Your PowerPoint Skills with Chess Animations

Mastering this section isn't just about creating stunning chess animations—it’s about unlocking advanced PowerPoint skills that can be applied to a wide range of presentations and projects. By learning how to animate chess moves with precision, you'll gain deeper expertise in motion paths, object layering, transitions, and timing control—essential techniques that can enhance any type of visual storytelling.

Through the checkmate with two rooks animation, you'll refine your ability to coordinate multiple objects seamlessly, improving your skills in synchronizing movements for clarity and impact. The pawn movement and promotion tutorial will strengthen your understanding of morph transitions and smooth transformations, teaching you how to create seamless, dynamic animations without abrupt jumps.

Additionally, crafting killer visualizations for rook, bishop, and queen movements will push your ability to design clean, engaging, and professional motion graphics—skills that can be used in business presentations, educational content, explainer videos, and more.

By the end of this section, you'll not only master chess animations but also develop a strong command over PowerPoint’s from the perspective of Content Creation, giving you the confidence to create visually compelling presentations or visuals that stand out. Whether you're a content creator, educator, or presenter, these skills will take your PowerPoint expertise to a whole new level!
