Part 3: Execution and Post Production

1. Import your Final Poster to After Effects

2. Develop the composition techniques using Digital Photography & Graphic Design

From the previous animation I saved on Photoshop, I continued editing the elements until I am satisfied with each movement. For me to see the whole thing, I needed to rendered to see it smoothly, as it was a laggy and slow. After rendering the video according to the requirements of the competition, I viewed the MP4 video. However, I noticed some minor mistakes, like the cloud moving in a jerky way, and needed to fix the mistake.

I tried adding new animation, testing out whether I should move the person or moving the texture and effects too. I decided to keep the latter, as moving the person doesn't seem nice to look at, as it is distracting with too many other elements moving. After a few more experiments and 5 renders later, I finished my vertical poster animation.
