I found another tutorial for Animating in After Effects, created by the same guy, and this time specifically aimed at animating the rotation of an object, etc.
Since starting to work with After Effects more closely I have actually found it enjoyable, although challenging with the prospect of having to learn features of the software by myself over easter. This self set brief has encouraged me to explore the software further and has inspired me to the potential of After Effects for future use. I would very much like to continue tutorials with After Effects, even after this module and gain a far greater understanding of the software for future.
