Please watch this from start to finish. Don't just jump into the middle and say "I don't get it". Also, if you can, please watch it in HD. I sacrificed a few extra rendering hours for it to be in HD. I took a bullet for you, man!

Now that that is out of the way, onto whatever else there is.

One day I heard the song Reset by Mute Math and I liked it a lot. Then I thought 'Hey, I'm learning After Effects! Why not make a music video?'
This video took me a few days to make. However, this wasn't nonstop working. I'd put in a few hours every day. I am quite proud of it, as it is one of the few videos I have actually finished. There is no plot, no anything; just shapes and colors to the beat of the music.

[NERDY STUFF]
Rendering took 3 and a half hours in CS4 on my Duo Core processor and 4gb (3.2 with my Windows XP) of ram. When it was done, however, the file size was 25.5gb. I couldn't do much with a 25gb file (I couldn't even watch it without lag), so I used DivX to compress it to 164mb with absolutely no noticeable quality loss (how DivX does it, I don't wanna know...). That's about 21 times smaller, for all you math enthusiasts (no pun intended).

Just sit back and enjoy the ride :)

UPDATE:
A number of people have requested that I offer download links to the video, so here they are:

  • Can anyone else recommend something similar from other artists?

  • @NightTranceDay To me this song is a combination of Session by Linkin Park and Everything In Its Right Place by Radiohead, though I have yet to find a song that truly sounds like this one.

  • i was wondering if i had your permission to use some of this in a film i want to make for school. Please and Thank you

    p.s. i had seen this video 2 years ago and i am still in love with it and now want to use it in a dance video because it has just stuck in my head for so long

  • @ashleydc277 Yeah, go for it.

  • Do you use Soundkeys plugin in AE to sync to the beat?

  • @TomSolidOfficial Actually, no, not for this video, though Soundkeys is a really awesome plugin and I'm using it in my current video (and it definitely allows for a lot more freedom than "convert audio to keyframes").

see all
