171 Layers

That's right. And that doesn't include all the other compositions that are interwoven with the final composition (you can see 14 in the surrounding tabs). You can also see I'm a sloppy worker. I'm terrible at naming my layers. I still manage to keep track.

I just wanted to give you guys an insight into After Effects and how I work with it. Basically, on the left you have all the photoshop/movie files I've imported to work with, and on the right are some effect shortcuts and text settings, though I hardly touched those. The sort of turquoise layers represent frame-by-frame work as well as movies, which I had made previously and exported, then re-imported because of their nature. Red is solid layer, dark blue is shape layer, purple is photoshop layer, and brown is composition layer.

But yeah. The eye-color change was my favorite moment, and it kills me because it looked so beautiful but had to be quickened down to only a little more than a second. Here it is slowed down a bit in sta.sh: [link]
