Import your character in a .fla file into After Effects and loop it, following the instructions or the tutorials on Blackboard. Import your background image as well. Add a camera.
Render your project in the Adobe Media Encoder, put it on YouTube or Vimeo and create a post on your portfolio page
To make the zoom feel more natural I added in a corresponding blur to the backing layer. I also began the 1st round of audio passes with some simple lip-syncing.
To be honest, this was my first time using Adobe After Effects EVER, so I did find it challenging at first, especially with the exporting, but overall I had fun. It was really great to see my character come to live and learning how to use the camera effect! It is NOT 100% complete, but hopefully soon!!
