And so, again, we added a drop shadow and in the effects controls we can adjust the
distance of the drop shadow, we can adjust the softness, the opacity, the direction,
and so forth. So we get a nice effect with the drop shadow. Another nice effect, another
nice shadow effect in after effects, is, let's right click, go to effect, perspective, radial
shadow. Radial shadow gives you a bit more control because you can control the light
source that creates the shadow, and you do that by clicking on this node, any time you
select radial shadow, this node pops up and you can indirectly move the light so that
it feels where you need it to fall, and then can adjust the other parameters just like
we could in the regular drop shadow.
