mmmm trapcode, I need some of that. I love the DoF effects on all of the particles. Also M83 is an excellent choice.
John Dombroski 8 months ago

I think you pretty accurately captured the feel of M83's music with those bright neon particles and light in space. I've always imagined something similar in my head when listening to their music before. Well done, I really enjoyed this piece!

yeah I started experimenting with Form after seeing that tut, which led to this project. the author knows and has seen the video. real useful stuff on aetuts+, love it.

The bulb thingy at 1:40 is way too cool. All form camera movements /DOF are innovative and classic

I really really liked this! How long did it take to do the Trapcode?
dannorton 6 months ago

the whole project was about 4 days worth of work shooting/animating, then Dave edited over a month or so before this final piece was ready. I made maybe 2 or 3 more clips over the course of that month; in total i'd say about 6 days of AE/Particular work.
Samuel Rustenburg 6 months ago

Wow great stuff I really love this video, I hadn't really used form before, not until recently. Im designing a similar feel to Pierre Michel's Polar and form is quite amazing. Since watching your video I am inspired to produce more animations using form.

Keep up the good work

Geoffrey Joe 5 months ago

this is amazing. Is anything else used apart from Trapcode Form? Is Shine used?
dannorton 5 months ago

no shine; form is the only trapcode stuff on there; other effects were simply glow and CC time blend/timewarp....pretty sure that's it.
daniel elmnas 5 months ago

awesome work what is the song called? please.
Roman Villarreal 5 months ago

this is really inspirational. thank you.
eyd ryan 5 months ago

one of the few tasteful uses of trapcode and particles in general. i like it and i like how you integrated it with footage (great job on the bulb reflection ;)

music sounds a bit low-fi though, could be my headphones but i doubt it. i think normalization is in order. and if you don't mind my saying, changing the band :P

love it, great job!
Jacqueline Stahl 5 months ago

This video is awesome! I love how simple it is yet it still kept my attention the entire time. Great way to combine both video work and Trapcode form! I thought the music was perfect for it!

seriously gorgeous. who needs food when you can just watch juicy, deliciously sensual videos? also- was this the same technology for radiohead's house of cards video?

Very inspiring use of Trapcode Form!

I look forward to your future work.
Kenneth Kirkpatrick 4 months ago

This is a very beautiful looking work. My only comment would be about the swinging bulbs near the beginning. They looked like flat artwork, and I found them kind of jarring against the soft and glowing look of the entire rest of the visuals. I liked the motion as they swung around, though.
I really love the feel of space, and the incorporation of real video with the particle work.
