WatchI am almost positive this video is the most intense trapcode motion graphics video I have ever done. The video is of a particle heavy dark background that resembles the aurora borealis with dark and bright colors of lines, waves, and particles, mixing together to create a brilliant background. You can pick up this video file here. Enjoy!

WatchHere is a new motion graphics video that I had been working on a few weeks ago. It is basically 2 different animations of quotation marks animating on screen and then the camera rotating around. It is great for putting in a quote for a video you create or whatever else you could possibly think of. The file itself is available to download here.
