Demo App for SwiftMN Animations talk. September 2017
This App is a simple tableView with a list of Futurama characters. When you tap on one of the cells a new viewController is presented with details about that character. The commits in this repo are structured to walk you through building up animations to transition from the MainViewController to DetailViewController and back.

Using UIViewControllerTransitioningDelegate and a custom UIViewControllerAnimatedTransitioning object, we add an animation from the selected cell to the detail view.

Expanding on the TransitionAnimator object that we created, we make our animation reversible for when the detail view is dismissed.

To make the transition a little smoother we add a blur effect to the tableView, and animate it in and out along with the transition.

The transition is pretty smooth, but that desctiption popping in is pretty jarring. Let's try to make that smooth, too.

The description is animating in, but if you look closely, it moves a bit as it fades in. Using keyframes we can animate the view in and then fade the description in. Likewise, we can fade the description out before animating the view back to the cell.
