You can do so much more with expressions, than you could when fiddling around with keyframes.
This tutorial uses expressions, particle effects, optical flares and a lot of tint and colouring effects I didn't know about. When combined with the Trapcode Particular system and video copilots Optical Flares some of the steps in the tutorial can be omitted or created easier and even cooler effects can be achieved.
