ABOUT

Each element has to be drawn separately. The three circular gauges have their numbers set against the ´Slider Control´ effect with their own expressions.

The circle gauge animated colour fills have been set using ´Trim Paths´ whilst the graph individual colour values have been keyframed manually. Each inherit their value from a ´Solid´ and changed to red using the HUE gauge in the ´Fill´ setting. The status bar also used an animated mask path to hide the interior bars. The opacity for the grid boxes & dashes created on the circle values have also been masked out and subtracted from their main layers as their opacity settings randomized using expressions.


I also deployed a 3D camera to create a different view of this animation to elude to a more visual effects feel. The final touch was adding some glow and duplicate layers of the gauges, graph and status bar and reduce their opacity whilst also using a ´Fast Glow´ - both on low settings to create the idea of a reflection.
