Your task is to create a similar animated poster like the one we made in the course. You have two options: an easy one, and a challenging one. It's up to you to choose. Let's go through each option.

So the first one is the easy one. In this task, all you need to do is use the animation you already created during the course and replace the assets we got in the scene. You can do it by entering the asset precomp, selecting the layer you want to replace, holding down the alt or the option key, and dragging your new asset onto the selected layer. Now, when you get the new asset, make sure it fits the comp size. But in case you want to change the comp size, make sure to scale it, and place it in the right place in the scene.

By the way, now you know that putting assets into precomps is very useful, especially when you know you'll want to swap out some assets in the scene later on. Alright, and now I want to mention a very important note to remember while doing so.

When replacing assets, like a car or road, try to use images with the same angle and perspective as the original ones. Using photos with different perspectives can make things look really strange. Also, if you're looking for a floor texture, try to find one taken from a top-down angle.

Alright, and now let's dive into the second option for the task, which is a bit challenging. For this one, you'll need to create a completely new animated poster from scratch. Here's what it should include: I'd like you to create the parallax effect in the scene, which means you should have foreground, midground, and background parts in your scene. In the midground area, you can add a different main object like an animal, a character, or a product of your choice.

Another thing I want you to create is a floor or a road in the scene. I also want you to add some nice camera animation, like moving up and down, zooming in and out, or panning side to side. Your new animated poster should last 4 seconds, and as a bonus, I would like you to add some stretched text animation. As for the colors, you can use any colors you want.

That's it for the home task. Choose the option that you like and start working on it as soon as possible. If you have a question, feel free to ask me. I will do my best to help you out. Good luck!
