The first important task was to separate each of the vectors into individual files ready for import. Layer separation is important for sections of an illustration that need to be animated separately. Within After Effects I separated these files into section1,2 and 3 to declutter my workspace. Secondly I needed to chart which time different elements need to be in shot (as it needed to be in sync with the voiceover.)
After this, it was a case of setting aside a long day to animate in the way I had planned. This was a fairly straightforward process, but became a little frustrating to keep the audi and visuals exactly in time. I learnt a shortcut that saved me a heap of time towards the end of this project; cmd, shift + D. This splts whatever you are working with in the timeline and moves the remainder of the track to a new layer, where it can be deleted. Prior to this I had been manually entering the in and out points of each element.
