French Minimalist Contemporary Composer

By -
  I am really interested in the idea of minimalism in all art forms. I am feeling that sometimes with dance and maybe visual arts as well, minimalism is hard to appreciate, and that is because there are minimal details or movement or color or whatever the medium may be. But thats what attracts me so much to it because each detail is rich and worth my time to explore. So I began to research contemporary minimalist composers and came across a french composer who seems to be very well known. His name is Guillaume Yann Tiersen. He composed for the french movie Amalie. I think his compositions are so imaginative and textured but with many restrictions. I think you will all enjoy and probably have listened before to his music. 
Here is a link- the music is great! 
Enjoy :)

Basically as what it states in its name, it is used for "Effects".Of course Premiere can also do these things but After Effects has a slightly different workflow that makes them easier. After Effects also tends to have better quality effects, etc (Source: http://www.mediacollege.com/adobe/compare/aftereffects-vs-premiere.html ). Strong interest in editing videos drove me to discover Adobe After Effects as final project. To explore its two-dimension animated picture making functio
