Practical 9: Looping and Animating small movement in Adobe After Effects

On week nine, we were learning about animating certain image with a very light movement. Aside from that we learn how to loop the animated image so that it looks smooth.  We were asked to download any image to animate it. I downloaded a cloud for me to animate it.

Fig. 1. Cloud downloaded from the internet

After I downloaded my cloud, I open it in Adobe Photoshop to make some adjustment to the cloud. My canvas size is 4000x1080. I added some background color which is light blue as well as I duplicate the cloud image and rotate it at the same time to make it a different look.

After I did this, I save it as a JPEG and use the image in Adobe After Effects. I open it in After effect and I supplicate the images twice. There are 3 images of the cloud in total. one cloud I move it from left to right, the second cloud I move it from right to left, the third cloud I move it from the bottom to the top.

Second Exercise is that we need to animate other picture such as the color ink that I downloaded online. The picture was flat but we were taught how to use the Puppet pin tool to make the movement by holding the command button.
