After Effects is a kicker...

...in the butt, I should say.  But it's so freakin' awesome!!!

I spent a good 2 hours trying to teach myself some things through an online AE tutorial, and honestly I don't know why I didn't start doing this earlier.  It's so much more hands-on than just reading the textbook and I don't get intimidated whenever the teacher just whips through complicated lingo like 'anchorpoints' and 'pre-comps' like I've heard of these things before.  =)  It's an advanced class, so I should've known better, but at least this is helping me understand Graphic Design terminology!  

Here's what I worked on today, basically consisting of layered lighting effects, particle wave manipulation, and typography.
  


=D

No really, I love this.  I love it all.
