So I finally finished! I still have a few minor adjustments to make. For the final piece, I went fully abstract. Instead of focusing on shapes I decided to use lines. The lines roughly form shapes but the transformations became extremely complex which fit perfectly in with the music.
The timing came out wonderful as well. I was very pleased. Also the choice of colors help to reinforce the intensity of the music.
I am extremely proud of how this turned out. I always have wonderful ideas but have trouble executing them as I see them in my head. This piece came out exactly how I wanted it to. It is a really good feeling!

Choice of Endings
I need some help selecting an ending. I am going to post a few ideas and if you could tell me which one you like best. Sorry I am not sure how to just export the ending so you gotta sit through the whole thing but I have done more animation since my last post so there is new stuff for you to look at. Thanks!

Tryin to get through it
So I'm not going to post an updated version of my video with this post because it takes too much time to export it. Sorry...
Anyway things are going well. There are a few parts that I would like the animation to be more complex but I dont have the time. I do like the visuals I am producing though. From the last post, I had been using the automatic drawing method but the time constraint puts too much pressure on me thus making that method harder to achieve. Anyway so I have started to use references but they still look good. They are not as abstract.
Anyway I am happy with the work I am doing. I have about 2,000 frames to go until completion. Wish me luck!

Whole New Direction!
So I completely got rid of my first idea...the blocks are gone! It just didnt fit with the direction i was going. Anyway so I have adapted to my roadblocks. I am trying to utalize the strengths and limitations of the shape tween feature and surprisingly I am happy with the results.
For the second chorus part (begins with orange drip form at top), I am not sure what to do with the background. The next two sequences uses solid color (white than black) for the background so I do not want to use a solid color for this one. The previous uses dots which i like but it needs to be something different.

Kandinsky Inspiration
Here is an undated version. It still needs a lot of work but I like the direction I am going with it. Not sure if I want to keep the abstract animation black and white or use colors. Please let me know what you think. THANKS!

More progress
So I worked tonight on the snake segment. The video has a large gap where there is no animation after the blocks sequence but there is stuff after that. Frame by Frame takes too much time!
