  DIGITISATION [AFTER EFFECT]: 
  Before starting After Effects, I realised I got the size wrong, which I
    then adjusted using the cropping tool on Photoshop.

      Once I was satisfied with the composition, I renamed all the layers and
      organised them into folders to easily be manipulated in After Effect.

      I started by isolating the group layers and adjusting them one by one. For
      the ocean area, the puddles were moved in different
      directions with different time intervals to give a floating/drifting
      effect. This was repeated and duplicated multiple times with the last
      keyframe being identical to the start so it can be a looped video.

      For the sun, I made the centre spiral rotate for two rounds from start to
      finish. As for the sun beams, I had to duplicate the layer and use mask to
      select alternating beams. Initially, the opacity of the beams were
      supposed to alternate in different speeds and I changed it so the opacity
      goes from 100% to 0% (and vice versa) in a span of 0.5 seconds.

      Something similar to the puddles was done for the waterfall where I
      adjusted each part's opacity in a sporadic manner to imitate the end of a
      waterfall.

Additionally, I also manipulated the waterfall using Puppet tool to give the effect of moving water.

      Once everything was satisfactory, I played the video for preview and
      adjusted timing to better suit each moving element.
