Geometric – a quick doodle for @AnimatedLoop
Here’s a gif I whipped up for @animatedloop‘s gif gallery. The theme is “Geometric”. I used After Effects, ImageMagick and gifsicle.

LookAtMe! A 2D lookAt() function in AE Expressions
The lookAt() function in After Effects’ expression language doesn’t work for 2D. If you’re trying to use it to align the layer to look at a given point, without having to remember all the trigonometry you learned in school, it turns out you should have spent less time smoking behind the shelter sheds, because this is … Continue reading LookAtMe!

Stib’s constant: a Planck Limit for After Effects.
I’ve built my own version of built-in After Effects expressions functions. Here’s why.
