This is my first time using Adobe After Effects. I am not familiar with any of the tools or shortcuts but I tried my best to use the information taught in class.
REFLECTION
After Effects was, and still is, quite an intimidating application to use. All the layers in Photoshop need to be arranged and rename accordingly so that they will be organized and easy to be animated. I learned how to animate the layers by following the tutorial provided by Mr. Fauzi, by using the transform tool, opacity, blending modes, etc.
