AFTER EFFECTS EXERCISE
In week 10, we had to do an After Effects exercise. This was my first time using After Effects so I was kinda intimidated when I first opened the application. However, after watching the tutorial, it was actually quite fun.
Before opening After Effects, we needed to download the PSD composition Mr. Fauzi had provided.
