Expressions Used:

Looping Fractal Noise:

(time/out_point)*(effect(“Evolution Amount”)(“Slider”)*360) // add to evolution property.

NOTE: you need to create a expression slider with the name “Evolution Amount” and link the Cycle Property to that as well.

Looping Wiggle:

freq = 1;
amp = 110;
loopTime = 3;

t = time % loopTime;
wiggle1 = wiggle(freq, amp, 1, 0.5, t);
wiggle2 = wiggle(freq, amp, 1, 0.5, t – loopTime);
linear(t, 0, loopTime, wiggle1, wiggle2)

This commercial caught my attention because I heard music from one of my favorite bands Anathallo. After watching, I realized this was more then a credit card commercial with sweet music, it was inspiring. To see what some people are doing to better their community is amazing. Who cares if a credit card company is behind it, I love seeing lives being change one person or one block at a time. Not to mention great cinematography.

Love the the subtitle use of Motion Graphics in these piece, its not overwhelming but it is helpful to the overall look. And the end title animation is very smooth.

If this were only the case….

I love the Olympics, and this just gets me excited for the next one. The graphics are breathtaking, and style hits the spot. My question is, will they keep this style for the next 4 years or will this just be a promo look that will change by the time we hit that games?

No Computer graphics here. This machine spanned 2 floors of a warehouse and was built with the help of MindShare for the band Ok Go.

The lead singer stated during a behind the scenes video “It’s a celebration of root level physics, screw computers” – I love it, get down and dirty with real objects, sometimes computer arn’t better.
