Did this tutorial using stroke, glow and fast blur-start & end properties with wriggle expressions.

Really like this tutorial- use hue/saturation, comps within comps, glow and trapcode-particle. Thinking of hopefully using this for my last assignment where the light or the line follows something or appears to go around something.

Another variation of light streaks using hue/sat, glow, warp and trapcode-3D streak.


Reflection for assignment 3: I think I'm attracted to light because it represents the passing of time-but that light is also how we see beauty-how something is highlighted-we see images on the screen because of light! Light is most prominent in two season i think-spring and summer. Im tending to lean towards spring because of the beauty of that seasons with flowers and seeds everywhere!
