    $\begingroup$ Do you need all the phones to be different colors, as in your reference? (BTW, small point ... it really helps people to answer, if you cut your file down to isolate the specific problem you're asking about. It just makes it easier for them to find their way around.) $\endgroup$

ok, your question is pretty vague, because you wrote "I want to make the following animation", but you posted just one picture.

So we don't really know how the animation should look like.

enter image description here

if you want to make this animation, you have to do this:

  1. add an empty, name it controller, with this location + rotation keyframes

enter image description here on frame 1

  1. on frame 49 add these location + rotation keyframes to your controller

enter image description here

  1. on your iphone object, apply scale + rotation

if you press "T" in graph editor and choose linear, you will get this:

enter image description here

  1. change your array modifier to this:

enter image description here

--- update

in edit mode, select all vertices of your iphone, then press R X 180.

You have to adapt the controller location to your liking.

  • $\begingroup$ Thanks Chris! I am sorry I couldn't find a way to upload the video on the forum... I'll try to add in a link for that... How do I make the it such that the bottom of the phone is the origin for the rotation, not the top of the phone. $\endgroup$
