This is a technique that I have seen used time and time again in video clips and a lot of intros with the light interacting with logos or text. I wanted to incorporate it into one of the frames of my commercial series so I looked on youtube to see how to do it. I was expecting it to be a bit more challenging that it was but it was really cool to see that there is actually a tool dedicated to creating a sweeping ray of light across the surface of an object in After Effects. This also made me want to look a bit more into the tools that after effects has to offer because I feel like there is so much more that I do not even know that can be done in the program.
