Comments:
In hindsight, I probably should have chosen one of my shorter compositions. At 4.5 minutes and 40 frames per second, this video ended up being 10,780 frames long. Since I composed the song, I knew all of the different instruments and was able to create animations for each. It was pretty exhausting work - but I wouldn't change a thing. It was a great experience and I'm very pleased with the final result - even if it does lag a bit - something I found occurs often when animating objects that have gradients applied. Also, the only object created with Illustrator was the square strobe lights. Everything else is entirely Flash.
