I thought I covered this in the tutorial, but I might be wrong. It was a really, REALLY long recording session. I’d watch it back, but my own voice still haunts me

The following expression should make a lot of sense to you since it was done throughout the tutorial. The very first line is the one that’ll delay the counting. Experiment with changing the number in the brackets (3, in this case) and see what it does!

posterizeTime(3);
S=thisLayer.transform.position.speed
S
Math.round(S*10000)/10000

After Effects was our primary software, and most of our techniques were very similar to the ones you have outlined here. In some cases we animated things by hand that you have scripted, and in other cases we ended up with much more complex setups.

The most involved use of expressions was in creating a curved altimeter style widget for the T800. It was built from the start with the ability to art direct every element using sliders and other expression controls (about 30 by the end) in the base comp. Here is and example of some variations I threw together by adjusting a couple sliders: http://www.jeremycox.com/stuff/HUD_demo-web.mov

My one critique would be your use of typeface. This is mostly just a warning to others, but using OCR-A will always make your work look dated and there are all sorts of interesting alternatives out there.

Good job!

Thank you so much Ben.

P.S.
You should make a tutorial on how to do the electrokinesis video you made.
