This project sucked. Going from Mocha to After Effects, I was able to get the positioning to look pretty good, but the scaling was just awful.

Paddington Bear Meets Rain
I used my previous animation for this next assignment. I wanted to add some rain to the first one, but I knew it would be too complicated. With the new techniques I learned in class, I thought I could get it this time. But even though I parented an entire row of rain to a single raindrop and then used nesting/pre-compose to organize my steady stream of rain, it still pretty looks bad.
I tried desperately to use expressions to make it looks more natural, but I don't know how it works! I kept getting errors! In any case, I probably should've made the rain come down faster. Maybe then it would've looked more real. I don't know. It was too hard.

Paddington Bear Meets Lightning
Pretty straightforward animation. I should probably have parented the umbrella to Paddington Bear, but I didn't. I'm glad I know how to do it now though and that this animation was short enough that it didn't cause me any problems!
