Tutorial Review

This was a tutorial on how to create lightning I found on google. It wasn't that difficult to follow. It told me exactly what I needed to do. At first, I didn't get it because it said to go to the effects menu. I wasn't on the Dynamics setting that it said to go to in this part that didn't look like it was part of the text, so I was looking around aimlessly for this thing. When I finally found it, it was smooth sailing from that point. It's pretty easy to create lightning, though it takes some trial and error to get the right type of lightning.
