Like I said the artist shaded it and had some taste. It’s on Lynda.com and they sell Tutorial DVDs for digital artists. You can’t just use flat fills and expect to sell educational materials to artists.

You need to find a better artist. Or if its you … practice practice practice.

1/15 will make moving elements in your footage blurry

or you can make a few layers of spots in photoshop
bring that into AE and animate each layer as a 3d layer at different speeds and depths in 3d space.
use motion blur and gausian blur on each layer of spots at different levels depending on how close they are to the camera

thats just a photoshop painted image there are no effects in it.
I see a gradient background with some dots on it
I see a cartoon character with some shading painted on it.
I see a hand drawn 3d wireframe cube with a soft edged white blob for a glowing center.

If by effects you mean the lighting on the character, then the artist had a rudimentary knowledge of lighting and shading, and used a soft edged brush on a screened layer in photoshop.
