Automated flashing lights patterns in After Effects

Red Giant TV has a new After Effects tutorial by Chris Zwar. In Episode 45: Creating Automated Flashing Light Patterns, Chris revisits his After Effects 3D "Centrica" project to show you how he set up the automated flashing lights patterns with expressions and lens flares (he used Knoll Spectacular; Video Copilot should work too).

Chris has a number of interesting other articles and projects at Creative Cow and his own website, and broadly covered his "Centrica" project for PVC last year. Todd Kopriva fleshed out a nice overview in Chris Zwar on planning and creating a complex 3D project.
