Manim noobie here. 
I am trying to run two animations at the same time, notably, I'm trying to display a dot transitioning from above ending up between two letters. Those two letters should create some space in between in the meantime. 
Any advice on how to do so? Warm thanks in advance.
To apply two transformations at the same time, you can do self.play(Transformation1, Transformation2). This way, since the two Transformations are in the same play statement, they will run simultaneously.
