This project is me trying to certify myself in Adobe After Effects, which is a software I've been using for a while but haven't had the chance to certify myself for it. I came into this project pretty happy about the route I am taking, and sure that certifying myself will help me down the road. I am excited to do this, but I am afraid that I already know everything this course is hoping to teach me, so I'm hoping to learn something for this course, not just to get certified but to add some more skills on my utility belt. Some of the obstacles that I expect to face when I'm working on this project is probably organization if I'm going to be honest. Organization skills are not my strong suit, especially when it comes to things on my computer, so I think it's going to be a challenge to know where everything is and having that ability to organize my computer really well. The other trouble I have with work like this are deadlines. Despite me having good grades, I turn a lot of stuff in late, so it's also going to be hard for me to finish these sections when my SCRUM board is telling me to. I would say I'm a procrastinator, which is why I think it's a good idea to be using these SCRUM boards, and I might start using them for projects outside of Digital Design too, like film projects or other school assignments. Hopefully my takeaway form this certification process is to have a better and more full understanding of After Effects, to get all of ti done on time and learn better skills when it comes to being punctual, and last that certification that will help in the future.

This project's purpose was just to get into the groove of doing special effects, and to get us more comfortable with Premiere Pro and After Effects, Premiere especially, which helped me learn how to use use it more fluidly and construct better workspaces. I made most of my own sound effects for this, and got a glimpse at what shooting practical effects looks like. I probably shouldn't have used coins as my object, because they were really reflective and it was hard to rotoscope and key them out. But, I think it turned out pretty good.
