I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to Maya, so bear with me...

I'm trying to animate a post-it note, in the same fashion that a hand would pick up the bottom edge and pull it back, taking it off the pad of post-its. I assume I can do this by making a bunch of edges and moving them individually, but I was wondering if there is a modifier or something that could do this kind of animation - you know, a shortcut - that will make it more quickly and effectively. Can anyone help me out?
