Im very new to animation and i got a problem already.

Im animating a chess piece that has a lattice around it so i can deform it as i move it.So i go ahead and key it at frame 1.Then i move it up 1 square at frame 48.When im at frame 48 i go ahead and deform the chess piece forward a bit and then key it.

When i rewind at frame 1 and play it,the chess piece is deformed all the way from frame 1-48.I want a gradual deformation from 1-48.Does anyone know what im talking about?
