Flash screen-savers created for grid-computing startup Popular Power. Popular Power let people earn money when running third-party software, often in conjunction with a screen-saver. The screen-savers had to maximize visual impact while minimizing memory and CPU utilization, allowing the third-party processes to run as quickly as possible. The first animation is a cycle, a single repeating sequence with a very small footprint. The second uses random numbers to modify a Flash movie clip so it never seems to repeat.
