In this project, we created an animated gif of a flower pot using After Effects 2022. I began with making a stars by using the star tool and then copy & pasting 6 more onto the canvas. To animate the stars, I gave them wiggle paths on their properties and changing its scale on different time frames. I also gave the stars offset paths in which gave them the expanding and shrinking look. To create the flower pot, stem, and leaves I used the pen tool. The head of the flower was created using a star and giving it the pucker and bloat affect to then move it to the top of the flower pot while changing the keyframe to give it the affect of it descending. To get the layers to move together as if it was one layer I used nulls and dragged them together using the whip tool.
