After Effects Textures and Mattes - Animation Tutorial

In this after effects tutorial, I break down how I created this animation from start to finish and how I achieved all the effects by stacking mattes and using textures with minimal animation and keyframes. This tutorial is suitable for beginners - intermediate users. Please leave a comment if you'd like me to explain anything I skimmed over.
