Week 6: First video & Scheduling

This week, I began working on my first video, which is the most frequently used emoji. I finished the cards I was working on last week and began sketching out the way that I wanted the cards to move throughout the project. Once I figured out what I wanted to do, I started working on it in After Effects. The video is now nearly completed, so I'll finish this video by the end of this week and then start working on the next one.

This is the progression of the video so far. I began animating the card movement and introduction to the video. I'll finish the outro by next week.
