Following some discussion on VJforums.com on how to seamlessly loop a particle system based on a random/wiggle expression, this is an example AE project file of how you could go about it. Based on the technique for looping wiggle by Dan Ebberts, and the technique for looping a particle system, documented by Aharon Rabinowitz, among others.
Download the commented project here, and if you want, you can see and download a 1080p seamless loop based on this technique from VJvault.com here.
Hope it’s useful to someone!

Kinki Universe from goto10 on Vimeo.
Corporate job for Kinki Kappers, a hairdressing company from Amsterdam. It was one of those awful open briefs (“here’s a bunch of pictures, make something cool with it, you know, like with 3d and stuff”), and I spent a long time figuring out which direction to take it. In the end both the client and I were very pleased with the result.
I decided to upload it, because it marks my first steps into using Quartz Composer and realtime graphics code for corporate productions as well. Instead of just using After Effects, this also features some QC compositions (most notably Vade’s Rutt Etra plugin) all rendered using Kineme Quartz Crystal.

A bit of an odd one out, but this was requested by one of my students a while back. It’s an effect preset that can be applied on any text layer in After Effects. It will change it into a countdown timer, that ticks off milliseconds, seconds, minutes, hours, days and years dynamically as your composition progresses. You can select which time measurements to display, as well as the start time. Using keyframing you could even make the clock tick faster or slower!
Anyway, I hope this is of use to someone…
Download here
How to use: Unzip and place in the After Effects -> Presets folder. Then start AE, create a text layer, and drag the preset onto it from the Effects and Presets window.
