While it seemed easy to After Effects at first because of how similar it seemed to iMovie, I quickly found out how difficult it was. Through trial and error, I found out how to move text and images in a way that was effective and not too quick or slow. The main problem that I encountered involved clicking on things on accident, and not being sure how to get back to what I was working on. These first few attempts below show my trial and error as I figured out how to make the best stop motion.

In order to create a motion graphic composition, it is important to have a good layout and flow of your project before you start creating it. By creating an animatic, a storyboard made up of many images as well as notes, it gives the creator a rough idea of what the final version will look like. 

After a lot of trial and error, I finally was able to make my final project in After Effects. By the end of this project, I had a deeper understanding of how the program worked compared to when I first started off learning how to use it. Are you various different aspects of what I learned how to do in the program as well as taking the time to learn more on my own time to implement into my work.

I am very proud of the final results of my After Effects project. It is clear that I put a lot of time and effort into this project as I hand-drawn and animated every single frame of this piece instead of just using images from the internet. This level of detail definitely reflected in my final version of the project.
