Make A Video For 'Calculus'

I love mucking about in After Effects for fun, and I think Calculus could use a video. However, I'm completely overcommitted with projects (like everyone else in the world, natch) and I'm curious if there is someone out there who would like to take a crack at it.

Here is an Adobe After Effects CS3 file (105MB) containing the stem mixes from Calculus (bass, drums, stuff, and full) and amplitude-derived keyframe animation based on the stems. In modular-speak, this is like having an envelope follower on each subgroup on your mixer to drive animation. This is a lot more information to work from than just the full mix by itself, and particularly important for a piece like Calculus where you can't simply choose a frame rate that is a multiple of your tempo.

If you're really serious and would like to have things broken down further, get in touch with me.
