After Effect Sunburst Tutorial

For this assignment I had to follow an After Effects tutorial. The one I chose was from videocopilot.com (http://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/solar/) which involved creating a sun flare.
I used a ton of layers in After Effects and used a lot of the effects that come with After Effects. I animated the layer effects to make it look like an actual fire burning.
I like how this turned out. But it was a bit too power for my laptop to preview while I was making it, so I'm not a huge fan of how some of the sun burst just suddenly disappear. If it didn't take so long to render on my computer I would go back in and fix them
