This video uses simple patterns, which are lines and polygons, to follow the rhythm of the background music. It is so fantastic and is one of my favourite motion  graphic videos.

I refered the characters movement following the rhythm of the music in this video.

RESPONSE:

Week8 I did research on graphic notation, I explored the association of music note, hue, and symbols. I chose a sound, which had simple rhythm. The main rhythm points were clear in this sound. I used curves to express the main rhythm points. And beacause when I listened to this music. I felt like working in the outer space liberally. This was the reason why I chose planets as the main characters. And cause the rhythm points of this music were simple and uniform repetiting, so I used the repeater motion in After Effects to make repetitive movement of the patterns. From this exercise, I learned make motion graphic in Affect effects, it became a main skill for me to use in my studio 2 project.

I thought there was a disadvantage in this exercise, which was the combination of the pattern’s movement with the music’s rhythm was not very well. Maybe I needed more practises to analyze the rhythm points of music and find the skill of combination.
