I fell into a rabbit hole perusing Michael Fogleman’s awesome projects: the one which really caught my eye is Primitive which reconstructs images using primitive shapes. It’s implemented with a whole lot of parameters to play with, the results are captivating.
I scripted a way to have it infuse its magic into a short movie. I really love the results.

500 ellipses
250 rotated ellipses
1000 circles
1000 rotated rectangles 
1000 bézier curves
I love the ghostly quality of this one
