Using Unity particle effects to show off a type of particle called shockwave! It looks really cool compared to the 'default' particle, because it has a transparent centre so overlapping them creates cool visual effects. Reminds me of a game called flOw which had a really unique art-style involving circles and the glowing conduits which connected them... Edits and filters added in post using Windows Movie Maker. Recorded using CamStudio! I'm hoping to do lots of videos like this ;) I'm so uncreative in my approach...

Useful TIMESTAMPS:
0:03 - Original Unity particle effects layering (no edits)
0:27 - Posterised Filter
1:27 - Threshold Visual Filter
2:33 - Edge Detection (Really cool layering effects here, slightly like a soapbubble aesthetic)
