After Effects Animation

This is an animation that I produced in After Effects. This was my first time using the software, so it was more of a learning process than something technical. I started off with a simple square, which I transformed in various different ways, such as scale, transparency, movement speed, movement path, and altered the colours. Then I reflected the pattern, modifying x and y values in the corresponding way, before doing so again. I scaled down the movie size, due to it being quite large, and added music onto it.

I enjoyed using After Effects, as it allowed me to make something that would have taken me days to make in Flash under 2 hours to make. The software is easy and fun to use, and up to now it isn't that complicated. I am pleased with the animation I ended up with, as it animates nicely, and looks cool. The only thing I don't really like is how erratic the movement is- I may try making the movement slower, and smoother.
