Year2 Assignment1: Examples of simple shape animation

i really wanted to make some pieces which where beautiful and visually stunning. just because i now have to make something that is alot more simple it dose not mean that i can not do that. here are some examples and great simple animations i have found.

i found this great example of that is just the sort of thing we have to produce. it also covers a few of my ideas which i have had http://www.peepshow.org.uk/animation.php#ColourPicker

this next one is really great and i could see myself doing something very much like this.

i was also thinking that alchemy a open source thumbnailing program i have would be great to use to get shape idea for this project.

another thought i have had is that although not as cool doing all my projects in 2D will make it alot easier for me to complete things in the time i have for this project. maybe i can fake a 3D effect like the clouds animation i've embedded in this post.
