There is a long list of experts I would like to credit in the making of this animation. First and foremost I would like to say wow to Esteban Diácono who produced the most beautiful animation to Ólafur Arnalds track Ljósið. I saw this and set myself the task of trying to emulate it. After much searching for a similar music track with two distinct instruments I decided to take the lead from Esteban and chose another track by Ólafur Arnalds called Raein. I edited this track down to just over a minute and used Trapcode Soundkeys to generate the keyframes needed to give life to Trapcode Particular.

This is a small collection of the many renders that track my trials and errors in trying to achieve this animation.
