Description
Another class exercise. This one was about using scripting to make one object have the exact same effects and movements as another. Or in this case, a whole ton of objects have the same effects and movements. The reason that they don't all move exactly the same way is because the effect on them (wiggle) is randomized, which makes it very useful for generating swarms of something. But they still move across the frame in a group, because I copied the animation that I did to the first one to all the rest.

Also, despite the 3D look of the things swarming across the screen, it's all just composited flat footage. No actual 3D involved.
