I teach remedial math to 8th graders. One point that I am constantly making to my students is that math is everywhere in our lives. I showed my students your video + they first commented on how much they liked your music. I asked them if they could compose a video of their own lives. They said yes….we will see if they can.
Thanks for sharing your math tips!

@Cynthia, I’ve gone back and forth on the matter of looking at the graphs throughout the year and adjusting my life accordingly. I decided that would fall outside the scope of my goals here which is, first and foremost, a reflection.

As for hearing audio correctly in After Effects, you may want to convert them to .AIF or .WAV files. AE or even FCP don’t play nicely with .mp3’s. When you ram preview (0 on number pad) them or even do a frame skipping(shift + 0) ram preview, you should be able to hear the music just fine

I stumbled upon this by accident, and just lost an hour’s worth of productive work time (well, maybe not…should have measured it I guess…) Seriously, thanks for doing this, and for explaining how. Hey, did you find that your behavior changed at all since you knew you were measuring it and might be “reporting” it later?
