after-effects-1-demoreelTodd Kopriva gives us a blast from the past as he resurrects the old 1993 demo reel from the original After Effects 1.1.

Someone just asked on a forum what the earliest works to use After Effects were. That conversation caused Dave Simons to hand me the After Effects 1.1 demo reel from 1993. Of course, I just had to post it.

The movie does have sound—just not in the first few segments. I think that this is from primordial times, before we learned that motion graphics without audio might as well be a blank screen. Even smooth jazz is (a little) better than silence
