"Please choose and complete two tutorials available on the internet. The chosen tutorial should help in your project 2."

First tutorial will on the coloured tiles that is inside the first part of my group MGE project 2. I make the tiles appear, glow and brighten up at the same time when character steps on the floor. I choose the colours of the tiles according to the green screen background of the galaxy-like so that it blends in. I played around with the 3D rotation to suits the footage too to make it look that the character is stepping on the tiles.

Second tutorial is on the main effects is the growing vines. For growing vines, I need to choose a suitable brushes in PhotoShop to put in After Effects to animate the vines to make it have the grow effect. Choosing one by one of the vines and cut it to put in different layer before importing to After Effects. After importing, making use of the pen tool to edit and animate it. I tried a few tries for this to make the vines look perfect and turn out good. The first few tries it does not look well because of my masking of the vines that is overlapping each other. Other than that problems I faced were having the vines not animating as how I want it to be in After Effects. I also need to carefully use the pen tool to do this and making sure that the stroke size is not too big or too small that make them don't look nice.
