TIMELINE
0:00 - Intro
Overview of video to be created
Overview of Illustrator file with static artwork
1:05 - Importing Illustrator file into After Effects
Import Kind: Composition
Footage Dimensions: Document Size
3:21 - Turning 2D After Effects layers into 3D
7:53 - Creating a camera in After Effects
By default, After Effects displays 3D content as if it were being viewed through a 50mm lens. Thus when creating a camera, if the 50mm setting is chosen, the scene will appear unaltered when viewed through this new camera.
10:47 - Animating an After Effects camera
Animating the camera allows the viewer to "move" through the scene
12:36 - Continuously Rasterize
Although vector artwork is theoretically resolution independent, zooming in on such artwork within After Effects makes it look pixelated. To have After Effects resample this artwork and have it looking crisp, activate the Continuously Rasterize switch.
13:54 - Motion Blur
Includes trick for removing motion blur from first frame
