Creating some lens flare visuals in Adobe Photoshop. Using SqirlzReflect to animate rainy particle effects and transparency tweaks and such. Windows Movie Maker handled the transitions, video editing, visual filters, ect, for this slideshow. It's nothing too great, but I had to experiment with this kind of style eventually (I've really gotta be more in depth)...
A weird interaction video here: youtube.com/watch?v=ehjOp36b7ys&list=UU7jXwrps3RHHAWpDqKRZguA&feature=share (It uses the same techniques, maybe even better / more stylized?)

![Abstract Visual Effects: Hue Cycle [No Audio]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/bn-HJbJKP0Q/mqdefault.jpg "Abstract Visual Effects: Hue Cycle [No Audio]
Just seeing how my free software can cope with the most basic of filters: cycle hue / slight color changes. Layering them together is pretty fun too! Very abstract and colourful, with use of the edge detection and slight metaball visuals with how I recorded and animated this...
Note: I sharpened the edges slightly by adding the threshold effect to my particle effects recording to eliminate blurring / motion blurs and such.
Software Used: Cam-studio, Windows Movie Maker, Virtual-dub and Unity.
