After Effects Time

I've begun using After Effects by creating a particle explosion. It took several days but it ended up very rewarding. There were a lot of different effects and layers used in the tutorial I followed but it was never confusing so I really think I'm starting to get the hang of it. I of course switched some things around from the actual tutorial to make it more my own, such as the colours, sizes of different particles and titles. After completing this tutorial I'm already onto my next one which is a spinning orb with a title in the middle. I can't seem to do it the way the creator has therefore I'm just going to go my own way with it. I plan on playing around with my different effects this time to manipulate the beginning portion of the tutorial.
