Stoic Twilight

Twilight from Season 3 song... with some artistic liberties taken to make her look awesome instead of despondent. Season 3: Hell Yeah!

Also, first time using After Effects for motion, because aw hell no was I going to vector 48 frames for 6 separate hair layers in order to animate it in photoshop. I was so happy when I discovered wave warp pinning... and then so frustrated when I couldn't figure out how to pin to the vector's edges rather than the entire image's edges.

If anyone knows how to make this better (in particular how to make the wave warp effect pinned so the left sides of her mane/hair are stationary and the right sides have the maximum effect), please comment and I will love you forever.

EDIT 1: Used multiple compositions to force After Effects to pin the edges where I wanted them, her mane is a HUGE improvement now. Anyone know how to export out of After Effects with a transparent background?
