I loved working in this style that Sean designed, simple colors, geometric shapes with isometric cameras.
But there were some complex things that had to happen to make sure it looked the way it did.

For the pieces that were moving between each rotating shape on a plane, I had to use a ForLoop node that I'm still trying to get used to.

 

Selecting the 50% of the points and assigning them to the "Start_Group".

Selecting everything but the "Start_Group" and assigning it to the "End_Group".

Using the shortest path node, I connected each of the points in the "Start_Group" to each of the points in the "End_Group".

Lastly, by using a ForLoop Subnet, for each of those shortest paths, I would make a shape travel along that path over time.

By duplicating various shapes and by changing the random sort seeds, I had a look that simultaneously looked ordered and busy.

 

And most importantly, I didn't have to spend time keyframing each of these pieces.
