    Does anyone know how I can get these effects? Both of random parts as the parts when the face appears. I wonder to learn these effects. Tks

    That video has been generated programmatically in Processing (= name of software).

    (You’ll either have to learn that program real well or contact the guy that created the video.)

    no way to do it with after effects?

    The patterns that are used in the video example you gave are Voronoi patterns. This is the only thing I found for AE that does anything vaguely similar:

    Now that you got me wondering whether this is possible in AE, the linked project shows a rough manual method of creating animated Voronoi patterns in AE.

    Turning off the adjustments layers gives a better idea of what is going on. The adjustment layers are there to make the cell edges visible. The basic cell pattern is simply the closest distance to a point (in a set of points), the distance is represented here by a radial gradient (distance 0 = black, distance 1000 or so = white).

    No probs.

    Here’s a sample of how it looks with about 100 points/cells. Note that the placement and motion of the cells is random (wiggle), not based on any specific pattern.

    Voronoi

    For a more controlled spawning of cells and faster rendering of higher number of cells, I would suggest using Particular or Form with faded spheres as particles with blending mode set to lighten (or darken, depending on whether they are black or white spheres.)
