After Effects: rotating layers with drop shadow

If you rotate a layer with drop shadow applied, the stupid drop shadow rotates too. Want to keep the drop shadow pointing in the same direction while you rotate your layers? Check it out.

Or you can just put the expression "value-transform.rotation" in the direction property of your drop shadow effect and save yourself the bother of watching the video. Up to you!
