So after a week of hard work I've gotten to a decent finishing point in my animation, I think the colours work well, the animation itself flows along with the song, it's not what I originally intended (which was using 3d objects) but it's still a good attempt to follow the story board, some parts of my storyboard would have taken a long time to achieve so I've trimmed the original down. I also added a grain effect to the entire animation to give it an old tv like feel, but it doesn't show properly on the internet version (.mp4 compressed) but is definitely noticeable on the quicktime lossless version (.mov).
Here are some screenshots of my After Effects project showing the timeline (containing the elements of my animation) and my project bin showing files I imported in as part of the animation.
Overall the animation consists of a few shapes made in illustrator (coin and spiral) and then the rest is edited in After Effects, I created the clouds at the beginning of the animation using trapcode particular which is a beefed up version of After Effects' built in partical generator.
