I haven't used it for this exact purpose but Power Extrude does a nice
job of updating the geometry to follow an animated curve. Won't help
with the curve animation but might be useful for the ribbon geo.

Got a reference image as to what kind of bow you're after? There are
many kinds of bows. Some simpler than others.

Me and my big mouth.... It seemed so simple before actually attempting
it, tying a ribbon around a bottle into a bow. No slight of hand
allowed, must be viewed in all it's glory.
I'm looking for any direction whatsoever that may give me a fighting
chance, bearing in mind i'm not a character animator and my early
attempts of shape animation a spline look like twitchy spaghetti.
any pointers gratefully recieved,
cheers,
Andi.
