Motion graphics test #4
The animation’s so short that the lossy GIF compression works to my advantage.
Motion graphics test #2
The animation could be smoother on this one, but that’s also the tradeoff you have to make with compressing for web.
Motion Graphics Test #5: Color Tree
The grain I’m adding to these is really increasing the file sizes.
Motion Graphics Test #3: Digital Fish
3D was easy enough to get the basics of, but it will slow my aging laptop to a crawl.
Motion Graphics Test #6
I’m not sure if the glow on this is too intense.
EDIT: changed the timing of the glow slightly.
The compression’s not great, but it’s not too shabby for about two hours’ worth of messing around in After Effects (having never used it before).

Mark Ronson & The Business Intl. - Bang Bang Bang
Starting off with a Franco-Japanese talk show introduction, Ronson introduces us to his performance and bandmates tokusatsu style. Complete with transformation-inducing wristbands, impeccably styled costumes, and judiciously deployed retro sound effects, the video takes us through the song with all of the flair and motion graphics that you’d expect from a costumed hero’s showdown with the villain. But there’s no conflict here (unless you count the tennis match on another channel at the end), only an enjoyable dance party with b-boys teleported in at the touch of a button. A fun song, and the music video keeps well apace.
