Photoshop was used with the Slice tool to slice up the image into square sections. In After Effects the square sections were used as textures for Element 3D and applied to the square puzzle pieces. Each puzzle piece is animated with the aux channels.
Here are some animation experiments with the Amberlight 2 program from Escape Motions.
Animation based on the Pin Art toy. Element 3D was used to model the toy and the animation engine to reveal my JEH Logo with the pins. CC Ball Action was used to create the mask shapes for the pins in Element 3D.
Too much packaging! A simple box animation using 3D solids in After Effects. The solids are parented to each other so that they could be animated as if the boxes were opening.
A Trapcode Tao experiment with points. Starting off with a circle and some fractal displacement with the evolution animated over time, also on an adjustment layer CC Vector Blur and a Glow.
Here’s the Nexus from Star Trek Generations made up of a few solids with the Saber plugin.
Here is a selection of my favourite Wrestler animations that I made for Progress Wrestling. The animations are around 10 seconds long and incorporate any of the Wrestlers logos, colours, nicknames, or tag lines. The animations are always fun to make as each Wrestler is different.

A short animation testing out some of the free Star Wars 3D models from Video Copilot for Element 3D. All the models look great, going to have some fun with these I think. Just animate and render!
I applied the Spirograph expression from Dan Eddbert’s site Motionscript.com to the position of a Tao light and played about with the values. I also added some copies with the repeater for the last Spirograph. For more Spirograh watch the video Spirograph with Trapcode Particular which uses the same expression. .
Some more experimenting with Trapcode Tao. This time using the circle shape with the first repeater to make and animate a slinky.
