 Stephen Beck and Warner Jepson's Illuminated music is an abstract art video that features moving lines and shapes that constantly change color and texture.  These are animated to various synthetic sounds that are also constantly morphing along with the shapes.  To recreate the shapes I filmed various lights shapes and textures and then used after effects to manipulate the video clips to resemble Beck's shapes on a black background.  I love the psychedelic quality of the original, so I incorporated that trait into my interpretation, as well as synchronizing the animation to Jepson's music.
