Making your own backgrounds in After Effects

Every television show you watch today has some sort of a background element including in the program. Sports, news, documentaries and other similar broadcast use backgrounds on an almost ongoing basis. You can go out a purchase animated backgrounds from many companies but if you do not have the budget or you would like to take the time to manufacture your very own animated backgrounds with After Effects and Photoshop then you need to check out the latest tutorial from the creative minds at Creative Cow. I have used this project to create a few custom backgrounds and I think you will find it not only rewarding but also fun to make your won custom animated backgrounds.
