What is it all about?

This collection of After Effects projects is supposed to provide some base elements for your design work. Each file contains one or more compositions that can be used as backgrounds by themselves or can serve as complementary components in your own compositions.

How do I use them?

You can work with the projects in two ways. Either you open the files, adjust the settings and add your own elements to them or you import the projects into other projects. You have full access to the effects parameters as well as each individual composition.

All projects are generated 100% inside After Effects without any external footage sources. The only times when this happens is when linked audio files are used to drive animation. In these projects you only need to replace the audio and adjust the frequency ranges. Keep in mind that the perception of sound and music is different for everyone and that different types of music contain different frequencies and amplitudes, drastically changing the result of the output.

Examples

	01 - Square Dance Using a custom particle shape with low opacity, the particles serve as a base to create an interesting additive blend that is further accentuated by adding a glare effect. View movie (pops) This project also uses Trapcode Starglow. available in PAL, NTSC, HD 720, HD 1080
	02 - Golden Squares An infinite stream of squares is travelling right to left, complemented by subtly moving background squares. Furthermore fine curvy lines give the illusion of circuitry far in the background. View movies (pops) This project also uses Trapcode Starglow. available in PAL, NTSC, HD 720, HD 1080
	03 - Flight of the Phoenix Similar to a underwater snail species known as Spanish Dancer, this setup creates a string of mirrored flapping tentacles. The look is refined by a second instance following the movement to create the illusion of fire. View Movie (pops) available in PAL, NTSC, HD 720, HD 1080
	04 - Plasmaball Held by strings of electrical arcs, a plasma ball spins and wobbles. Watch Movie This project makes excessive use of custom layer maps for Displacment, Opacity and Particle Size, generated in sub-comps. available in PAL, NTSC, HD 720, HD 1080
	05 - Spiral Array An array of tapered spirals with randomized positions that continually "drill" into one direction. Watch Movie (pops) This project uses an animated displacement map whose parameters are linked to expressions. Color is achieved using a Quick Map. available in PAL, NTSC, HD 720, HD 1080
	06 - Blinkenlights Three stripes that have a unique wave motion based on a displacement map. Lights that switch colorsare added on top as a second instance with a custom particle shape. View Movie (pops) Each stripe is placed in a separate composition for maximum flexibility. All parameters can be controlled from the main composition using expressions. available in PAL, NTSC, HD 720, HD 1080
	07 - Blinkenstripes As a design variation on the previous project, the setup shares certain components, but also intro- duces new ones like a different switching pattern for the lights View Movie (pops) This project also uses Trapcode Shine. available in PAL, NTSC, HD 720, HD 1080
	08 - The Eye Two instances of Form are combined to create an eye/ torch surrounded by a halo.Based on a sound file, waves of energy flow thru them. View Movie (pops) An audio file is used to drive the intensity of the fractal displacment, particle size and opacity Replace the audio in the project and adjust the range of Audio Reactors to see the influence. available in PAL, NTSC, HD 720, HD 1080
	09 - Spiral Blink Based on an audio input, flashes of light travel through a gently but steadily rotating spiral. Watch Movie (pops) Replace the audio in the project and adjust the range of Audio Reactor 1 to see the influence. available in PAL, NTSC, HD 720, HD 1080
	10 - Dancing Tentacles Modulated using Quick Maps, strings converge in one point and move like hair in the windbased on fractal motion which is controlled by audio. View Movie (pops) Replace the audio in the project and adjust the range of Audio Reactor 1 to see the influence. available in PAL, NTSC, HD 720, HD 1080
	11 - Numbers Soup View Movies (pops) Built from multiple instances, bubbles with numbers and letters emit from a boiling surface. The effect is intensified by a steamy environment and fake volumetric shadows. Because of the multiple layers and the extensive use of custom particles, motionblur and depth of field, rendering can take up to 5 minutes per frame at HD1080 resolution. This project also uses Trapcode Shine. available in PAL, NTSC, HD 720, HD 1080
