I’m at the beginning stages of my learning and skill level with these Adobe tools, but it is clear that learning more about animation would be extremely rewarding. I’ve found myself lost in thought for hours, creating multiple variations of a scene or standing over my work space trying only to move something a centimeter. It’s captivating. Now, I use my voice memo to collect atmospheric soundscapes. I’ve even pulled out dusty musical instruments to introduce to my animations. Being a beginner has really allowed me room for discovery without self-consciousness about my skills. It is more about building narrative, engaging with materials and trial and error at this point. It is a very rewarding experience.
