I was set a piece of coursework by University in which I had to design and then make an animated greetings card that could be sent to publishers (Hyperthetically of course). I chose to do the up and coming Aliens: Colonial Marines. Its was all made in After Effects after an hour or so of learning how to use the basic's of that very complex piece of kit. This was made well over a year ago. Since then my use of After Effects has come on in leaps and bounds.
