A Graphing Calculator in After Effects

I did a thing! Basically, After Effects is an INCREDIBLY powerful program, and every day I learn something new. Today (or should I say over the past few days) I MADE something new.
Turns out if you can program, you can work out a graphing calculator in After Effects. It's not terribly robust at this stage, but I can graph arbitrary functions that 'behave' well. Horray!
I am still a bit uncertain if I've spent too much time working on this video, and certainly, I don't want to hype it because it inevitably won't live up to it. But I'm still super excited and not at all ashamed. :)

The Taylor Series aims help people love math. Whether you're a student in a math class or someone who has ever asked the question, "What was the big deal about Calculus?" there's something here for you.
I am aiming to have one new video up every month. I hope you enjoy them!
Also, I named this the Taylor Series after the mathematical construct created by James Gregory and formally introduced by Brook Taylor ... and I picked this one in particular because my name is Derrick Taylor. :)

Will you make your calculator public in some time? I would love to work with that

I can give you a quick rundown on it. It's really just a bit of code I figured out how to put on a single element. Are you familiar with After Effects or JavaScript?

@@TheTaylorSeries Please do! I would love to see how you did it.

Did you consider using 3B1B's manim framework? It was a bit of a dog to set up, and I can only imagine what that would be like on Windows. It's also pretty complex, but the reward in slickness is probably worth it. Maybe. I've just scratched the surface of manim myself.

You know, I thought about it, but I chose not to for two reasons. One, I didn't necessarily want to try to dive into someone else's programming headspace; I am classically fairly poor at doing that without anyone to ask for help, and if I recall correctly, he wasn't really available for support for that. Two, I wanted to see if I could just do it in After Effects, because I kind of live there anyway. My hope is that I can make it just as slick. If I CAN'T though, then maybe I'll look into it. :) Baby steps though; now that I've got the basic functionality up and running, I want to get this video shipped and then start adding more robustness to it. Great idea, though. :)
