Google Next 2026. BNS collaborated with the Google Next team to develop the event’s visual language. My contribution focused on animating a series of custom 2D letterforms, for which I developed a shape-driven metaball system built entirely with shape layers and expressions, without relying on third-party plugins. Color was generated using the
@aescripts plugin proGradient, while Displacer Pro was used to distort and animate the color field based on the movement of the shapes.
