Animation Process in Adobe After Effects (Week 13)
Then I inserted the Photoshop file to Adobe After Effects.

"Lastly, I searched for an audio track that matched my poster and ended up choosing 'Magic' by MAE.SUN and Medasin, which I then added in After Effects."

The first element I animated was the butterfly because I knew the process would be a bit complicated. I wanted to make the wings flap and create a circular motion around my photograph.
Here are the steps:
1) Select the 'butterfly' layer.
2) Duplicate the 'butterfly' layer two times, so there are a total of three layers for the butterfly.
3) Rename each layer as "body", "wing 1", "wing 2".
4) In the "body" layer, create a mask for the body part of the butterfly using the Pen Tool.
5) In the "wing 1" layer, create a mask for the left wing using the Pen Tool.
6)) In the "wing 2" layer, create a mask for the right wing using the Pen Tool.
7) Select the "wing 1" layer, then use the Pan Behind (Anchor Point) Tool and move the anchor point to the edge.
8) Repeat the same step for the "wing 2" layer.
9) Parent the "wing 1" and "wing 2" layers to the "body" layer.
10) Adjust the Y Rotation for the "wing 1" and "wing 2" layers. I applied opposite degrees for the two wings.
12) Making a circular motion around my photograph by adjusting the position of the entire butterfly.
Next, for the compact disc, I used rotation. For the orchid I adjusted the scale. Lastly, for the melody, I adjusted the position, creating the effect of the melody coming out from the compact disc.
