1. The main idea of my message was that the frog is falling into a pit of ominous looking water and it further sinks down into the depths never to be seen again. I effectively communicated this as it shows the frog falling from the sky into the water and it makes a splash on collision and then it starts to sink and disappear as it gets further away from the perspective of the camera.

2. The After Effects tools I used the most successfully were the timeline tools as I had used a variety of effects using the timeline including the rotation of the frog, the scale, and opacity.

3. I planned and organized my workflow to complete my 10 second animation as I had spent no time fooling around and got straight to work and did one layer at a time and then I had recolored the frog for the underwater part as a separate set of layers itself.

4. A challenge I encountered during the production was an issue revolving around the program itself as for a little while it would not load and it would only crash or have me waiting indefinitely for after effects to load. I adapted to it by trying everything such as using safe mode which worked long enough to save my progress and be able to work off of it when the program started to work again.

5. If I could redo this project, some changes I would make are to maybe add more flair to the effects and make the water make waves around the collision of the frog and the ominous water pit which would strengthen how the animation itself looks.
