Shapes Masks Mattes



What?
The main shape was made from puckering a square, and I parented a scale expression with the bass of the music to the shape and the lens flair. The outer bars are masked over the rest, and the row of dots that emerge are a repeated pattern. The changing colors were done with an adjustment layer that key framed color correction. The end shape that wraps was made by tapering circles and cloning them in the paint tool to make them concentric. Sadly I didn't know how to end the video in a way that was cool, so it kinda lacks impact.

Lesson learned: Work on pixel art in illustrator because anti-aliasing ruins everything.
