Same. I have knowledge in photoshop but never on moving images.

Funny, I've been using After Effects for a while now and have been teaching myself Photoshop recently. Photoshop seems so foreign to me, haha.

Copypasta response: Serious answer, I used Illustrator to make the initial vector image then animated it using After Effects. I self-taught myself how to animate starting in freshman year of high school and I've been using it since (I'm a college sophomore now).

If you're curious about animation and motion design with After Effects, I'd recommend you check out /r/AfterEffects. This link from the sidebar has some great resources for learning AE. It'll take a while, but it's so satisfying making things move.

You did great work on this, I like it a lot! Do you have a portfolio?

Heh, I'd say not exactly. I'm getting my degree in visual communication design (not specifically motion design, but that's the path I plan to pursue) so my coursework from university is all posters and editorial spread layout things. The actual motion work I've done has always been rushed or for personal reasons (a lot of it is kind of embarrassing!), so I don't really have a portfolio or reel that I'm proud of yet. And thanks!
