Something I would love to learn how to create are all the "straws" that form the portal around the :48 mark and seen throughout. They seem to be effected by the sound of the music so their animation must be parented to the audio. Also at 1:02 and 1:08 the rotating portals are really fun to watch but I guess they were made in Processing and not in AE. I make that guess based on their similarities to the fractal pattern at the end of the Casino Royale opening. But alas! I will see what I can figure out in AE.

Analyzing Motion Graphics
This past week my favorite record label, Spinnin' Records, released a preview to a new song by Alex Kenji and Leon Boiler.
What I find really fun to do now that I know more about After Effects is to watch videos and try to analyze what they did. It looks like they put a wiggle expression on the camera to make it shake throughout. There are also a couple of color flares thrown in here and there that are pretty easy to make in After Effects.

An In-Depth Look at the Fractal Noise Plugin
Ever wonder how some of the plugins in AE actually work? I do (sometimes, when I'm feeling really ambitious). Today I came across this great explanation of how the Fractal Noise Plugin generates its mind-blowing results. It's a lengthy read, but hopefully you'll be inspired to use this plugin in your future compositions.
Here's a bit of what you'll learn:
And no, there's no video included. Sorry, guys (and gals)!
