HOW BRAIN DUMP IS MADE: FINAL STEP

I'm on the homestretch at this point! SWF files are exported out from Flash and brought into After Effects. I usually export animation on different separate layers so I can add effects like Goofball's glowy hovery-ness. After that, I export again and bring the footy into Premiere for the final...

HOW BRAIN DUMP IS MADE: STEP 1
