How to Make abstract waves in After Effects with the Trapcode Form plug-in

Creating an abstract wave effect in After Effects will allow you to make graphics like those in the thumbnail, basically clouds of particles with that smokey / silky effect like they used in James Bond titles. This video will show you how to make this effect yourself in After Effects in two parts. Apply this technique to your titles and they should be much, much sexier.

You will need the Trapcode Form plugin for After Effects, which is available from Red Giant Software ($199).
