Abstract Animation Assignment

A little revisit with MOME. For screen design we had to create a music video using no characters or story. The point was to still be able to entertain the audience. I was feeling confident going into this as I have fun doing this kind of stuff since motion graphics was what I was trying to pursue when I first came to the school.
Going into the critique, however, I didn't feel proud or confident at all in my project. I think I just kind of lost interest halfway through. The song I picked was trippy and so I felt like making the video like that, but I really didn't feel like it delivered. I cut down the song a lot and towards the end it still felts so long so I started putting in presets to fill time. Big mistake on my part.
Something that I don't like seeing when watching other people's (and this is a big no-no for AE users in general) that you look at the animation and you can name the preset and know exactly what effect they used. And yet, I did just that. It's something that bothers me, but I did it anyway in my own. And for that I am ashamed.
I shouldn't beat myself up over it since this project doesn't really apply to me or my major anymore, but I think it's just the fact that "I know I can do better, so why didn't I?" that sticks in my head. Mere disappointment with myself.
But, again, I shouldn't dwell on it. It is what it is.
