Approach
In my pursuit of learning Adobe After Effects, I wanted to take a different approach than a generic sit down and read about it. I wanted to be able to learn in a way that I would be able to apply this knowledge in various different projects. My initial goal is to learn how to make an introduction to a film/short story purely using After Effects. By actually creating a personal project, I believe that I will be able to learn much more because this way I can actually learn from mistakes, try new things, and learn much more than I originally intended.
In addition, Adobe After Effects can also be used internally within film. With my passion for film, I would like to somehow use After Effects to make a trailer for a film that I created a long time ago. This is either a long term goal or something that I will work on by myself at a later date or if I have time, finish it by December 3rd.
