Building Your Own 3D Particle Generator
In this tutorial, Dan Ebberts demonstrates a method of generating motion that is random in both time and space and allows you to quickly assemble a composition with a pleasantly fluid, chaotic movement. Using this particle generator, we'll look at how you might create explosions, smoke, a fire blast, falling snow, and even a liquid-like flow.

noise()
The After Effects expression language has a seldom-used random number generator that is really quite a gem. Dan Ebberts says "seldom-used" because he doesn't believe he's ever seen it used in a single expression he's seen posted on the internet. It's not the easiest command to understand and the documentation is pretty sparse but once you get past that it's very cool

Expressions in Adobe After Effects 6
With After Effects 6.0, Adobe has introduced some wonderful new functionality to the world of expressions. Most of this is the result of spectacular new features that have been added to After Effects that were not necessarily aimed at expressions but nonetheless dramatically increase the power available to the expression writer. There have also been a few changes and enhancements to the expression language itself.

Animating a Walk-Cycle Using Loop Expressions
With version 5.5 of After Effects, Adobe has included some new keyframe-looping expressions that can be very useful for cyclic animation and layer-looping. In this tutorial, Dan Ebberts walks us through the basics of how to set up and use these expressions and then we'll use one to loop a walk-cycle as you might do in a simple character animation.
