Hi guys! Excited to share another completed project with you. I made two animations this time around.

First up is the Saturn animation, which I recreated by following along with Jake's lesson. Here it is:

The second one is dedicated to my all-time favorite movie: The Lord of the Rings. I was browsing Pinterest and found some amazing minimalist LOTR art like these:

They all feature iconic symbols like the hobbit door, the Ring, and the Eye of Sauron. Luckily, these are pretty basic shapes, making them perfect for me to animate to practice my skills.

The final result didn't turn out quite as epic as it looked in my head, haha. It's very simple, lacks detail, and the pacing (especially the ring scaling) is a bit off. But I want to share it anyway and keep moving forward!

Huge thanks to Jake for the incredibly helpful class. Playing around with shape layers was a blast!
