00:02:36 - Preparing the model with Volumes
00:06:27 - Setting up Vertex Map on the low poly object to drive the high poly with a Plain Effector
00:11:54 - Basic reflective material
00:14:33 - Deform the low poly geometry in more complex ways
00:25:40 - Adding more Delay and Decay effects
00:38:45 - Jiggle deformer
00:41:53 - Driving dissimilar geometry
00:45:02 - Concept applied to other things. Logo for instance (Neat spline mask!)
