Valentine's Day Heart - Animation Time!

Today's Animation Time features the Valentine's Day Heart Rig.
The Arrow searches around for the best angle, while the heart bounces up and down. The arrow then shoots forward toward the heart and pierces it. Upon impact the heart falls back and recoils, until it finally collapses.
