4. PRACTICAL
EXECUTION AND POST PRODUCTIONS
- Animation in After Effects
I had idea to animate all of the object. I plan it by making a notes with the time of the object appears :
1. Myself and Blanket using opacity (1-2 sec)
2. Waving the rainbow smoke using wave warp (2-15 sec)
3. Swaying the top flower from left to right by opacity and bend (3-15 sec)
4. Closed the face using blur by opacity (3,5-15 sec)
5. Adjust the position of rocket (7,5-15 sec)
6. Swaying the yellow flower (same technique from top flower) (9-15 sec)
7. Bone Hand entering using opacity and position (6,5-7 sec)
8. Petals and Typography entering with opacity and position (11,5 and 12 - 15 sec)

Using After Effects, I save the file into Psd then move it in AE by file - import - composition retain layers.

I searched some tutorials to made waving effects and swaying the flower below :
Vid 4.1 How to Create Swaying Plant in AE Week 13 29/12/2023
Vid 4.2 Quick Tutorial to Animate Wave Week 13 29/12/2023
I began the process step by step from one layer on top until bottom. For the effects, I'm used Wave Warp and CC Bend. I added "loopout" format for the flower to made it always swaying. More than that, I just adjust the anchor point of positions and opacity.

At the end, choose file - export - add to render queue. Edit the output and click render. I moved to inshot to adding an audio of the animation. "Toy Piano" by Wayne Jones is the good choice for my animation.
