    • @Nat1vecs
      @Nat1vecs 5 років тому +8

      Nah man, AE is rather a composition tool than a effect making tool. That's why all the effects made in After Effects only look cool if you composite them in the right way because that's what after effects can do best.

    I love this fast paced tutorial, because it just shows me to rethink the tools available to me. I probably won’t take the time to actually recreate the effect, but it shows me how much the tools I do have can be transformed into something insane, for when I do have a larger project.
