Logo animation

I am happy with my initial WestView High School emblem (pictured below) which I made on AutoDesk Graphic iPad application in quite a short space of time. I will follow this tutorial (embeded below) on Adobe's After Effects in order for my WestView High School's logo to shatter like this. I find After Effects a difficult software to use so am apprehensive to see how this turns out. I also will be doing this from home and as I do not have an Adobe subscription will be doing it with the Creative Cloud trial, this means I need to complete and export it within 7 days. 

6 hours of work later! Here's my 6 second logo animation, this will feature in the trailer the the viewers are aware of the School's (and program's) name and the logo. The YouTube tutorial wasn't that difficult to follow in the end but as I did not go at the same pace as the filmer of the video, it involved a lot of pausing it to keep up. The filmer was also working from an older version of After Effects so some buttons were positioned slightly differently making it slightly more difficult to follow.



Reflective comment:
I am very proud of how my logo animation turned out although it was a very headache-causing, time consuming task but it is done now! I think it looks quite professional and works well allowing the viewer enough time to see the final logo. If I were to do it again I would make sure the original JPG of my logo to edit on After Effects had the scale of the whole screen to that the left side doesn't have a cut off line, however this is quite a small issue and would not be worth redoing it all just for that.
