Kasabian - Days Are Forgotten

Kasabian - Days Are Forgotten
one of my course mates reminded me of this video and watching it again inspires me even more to create an actually music video where the effects react to the audio, like in the video. this is a very well made video and the effects look very complicated so ill will have to work with what i can do. more practise in after effects i think. . .

Soundscape + Animated Music Video

After a while of editing iv finally finished the video.

first of all i made each shape react the corresponding audio file from the song but for some reason it ending up reacting to every single one, so i created each one separately and them collated them into one video, and this is the final result. . . 

AE Tutorial - Sound React

After messing around in after effects trying to figure it out how to make things react to music myself, i decided to look on youtube, there where a lot of tutorials on there but this one seamed to be this simplest and most informative, where by it walked me through the process.

Sound React

I've decided to create a sound react video for a soundscape iv created, my intention is to have a different animation for each part of the song, kick, snare, bass, high hat, etc. so i created the effects in photoshop and now i need to figure out how to make an object react to sound. . .

IOGraph

just found this awesome app from IOGraphica where it tracks your mouse movements and activity and plots them onto an image, creating these really cool abstract images.

AE Tutorial

This is the first tutorial video iv watched, it was pretty music the overview of the basic layout of the software and basic editing techniques, seams simple enough... will have a go at editing now.

Growth + Decay

After watching some abstract animation i decided to create my own, stop motion seamed like the best way to do it so i set up my tripod camera and paper and drew the first thing that came to mine when i though of growth - growth of the dot that sprouts vines that split then sprout colour, after finishing the animation i decided to add the reverse of the video on the end and have the music reverse to depicting growth and then decay, i also made the sound track to it on fl studio, just a basic pluck melody.
