During this section of the video I set up a couple of cool rigs to help me out to animate the sequence. In order to make the graphic elements react with flexibility to the sphere movement I used linear expressions on their position and opacity. Then to convey a cautivating lightning system I set up shape layers to act as mates with different opacities and blurs. I did also played with an echo effect on the spehere to create a beautiful and easy motion trail to enhance its movement.
To convey a high speed feeling I had to play with different elements. First I set up a particle system with different speed layers to create depth. Glows, wiggles and flickering played a great role in adding the desired look to the shot.
