After Effects Experiment

First experiments in After Effects - I don't want to talk about how long it has taken me to get to this point... and this is ONLY PROJECT 1.. and the teacher hasn't seen it... ayiyi

Assignment:

"Create an animation using Adobe After Effects that is inspired by (or derived from) the work of Oskar Fischinger. As Fischinger's work has been remediated many many times, additional contemporary animators may influence the project. The animation is, in essence, an animation of dancing shapes that move in relationship to the audio - Visual Music. The relationship between the audio and the imagery may be explicit (i.e. synchronized) or implied (i.e. "felt").
The animation should explore the visual birth, life, and death of shapes within the frame... how does a shape appear, what does it do while visible to the viewer, and how does it disappear? Particular attention should be paid to how shapes interact with the edges of the frame -- do not treat the edges of the composition as a limiting border, shapes should freely pass in and out of the composition. Acceleration, deceleration, and overlapping action should be applied as appropriate to create a fluid animation sequence."


Hopefully he will be gentle with me as I am still learning...
