It was my first time using Adobe Effect; it was such a new, challenging project, as I was confused about those tools. After looking at the tutorial demo, I start with the first element, which is the circle; I wanted my animation to float from a distance to gathering in the middle. I created a keyframe animation to the layers and adjusted the anchor point, position, scale, rotation, and opacity. Then, I just go with my feeling on doing the other elements.

FINAL OUTCOME
RELECTIONS
Experiences:
It's my first time using Adobe Effects, and it was harder than I thought. I felt overwhelmed but gradually I learned the basics tools following Mr. Fauzi's demo video. However, I don't have much idea about my animation, as the keyframe was limited to anchor points, position, scale, rotation, and opacity.
Observation:
During the animation process, I observed that adjusting timing could create a sense of flow in the composition. I still have to explore more to made my artwork make creative and interesting.
Findings:
Through this exercise, I discovered that animating the digital collage allowed me to see it in a new version, transforming static visuals into a more immersive experience. It was a rewarding exercise in learning animation.
