This project is kind of special to me, not because it’s a big brand but because it uses Actionscript for 90% of the animations. I had a theory but never tried it before on this scale where I could use time delay with offsets based on the layer index to make a wave or smooth effect. If the delay is set to 0 then all lines in the background would move the same. So this gives a lot of control over how you want it to look. At the bottom of the page there are some examples of how you can change a few settings to give it a completely different result.

Main controller

Background lines

Every background line is a different layer...

After effects expressions (ActionScript)

Animating with code

Line width offset:

i = index;
v = value;
c = thisComp.layer("CONTROLLER").effect("Out to mid")("Checkbox");
d = thisComp.layer("CONTROLLER").effect("Delay")("Slider");
o = thisComp.layer("CONTROLLER").effect("Delay offset")("Slider");
if ( c == 1) { k = (o + (time - ( i / d ) ) ) } else { k = (o + ( time + ( i / d ) ) ) } ;
s = thisComp.layer("CONTROLLER").effect("Slider Control")("Slider").valueAtTime(k);
v = v + s;

This project was interesting because the only assets being used are images and after effects but it looks as if it's in 3D or was filmed.

mine: For Loka’s second music video they wanted too many things in too little time but I still managed to finish it. They also didn’t quite know what they wanted so there were a lot of different versions in the end.

LOKA - Higher X Higher

A friend got me in contact with a Japanese band that was looking for an editor/VFX artist for their music video. For this project I created all the assets and motion tracked it to the music.

Tom Rosenthal - Run for those hills, babe

“Run for those hills, Babe” was my graduation project. I worked on it for over 6 months and drew 3575 frames by hand. I’m still very proud of this one.
