We can do most of the work with a single After Effects layer using channels and mattes to do the heavy lifting. You can spice things up by adding multiple layers, changing the colors, and adding a CC Radial Fast Blur or something similar to create more natural looking fading shadows on top of the Drop Shadow effect. ▸ Creative Dojo Presets & Tools: ▸ Best Plugins for Motion Design & VFX: ▸ Best Music for Video Creators:
