This was the first time I had ever used After Effects, which is something in hindsight I should have learned before as I am an animator. I could not help but be excited whilst learning how to use it as the software is capable of so many things. I did find the software quite hard to wrap my head around at first but I eventually understood. I think I am most likely to use and learn more about these skills than the other rotations.

The task was to create a self portrait but in a more experimental way more than a literal way. I wanted to use a mix of colours so I thought orange and blue are both nice colours and look good together but they also clash, showing different sides of my personality. I also added some noise to it so that it had some texture. The waves represent the ups and downs of life, that it does not stay the same. I think that this works well as a self portrait. I made it by experimenting with the different effects and looking up specific things I wanted such as the lines of wind, which I think add an extra bit of volume to the animation.
