Made in Unity. Inspired by the particle effects used at one point in The Stanley Parable (an experimental narrative-driven first person game)... It was a truly beautiful, moving and missable to people who didn't explore thoroughly. It was a tranquil and peaceful scene with a black background to really highlight the particle effects. I didn't do it justice enough. If need be I could always record the part and upload it directly; the challenge to observe something, replicate it and emulate genius is a hard one. I can easily see someone saying that this is a black background with neon flashes or a neon video background, but this was all just an elaborate test piece which turned out better than expected!
Edits made in Windows Movie Maker! Lot's of transitions and effects going into this one (Crossfades, Wipes, Edge Detection, Thresholds, Posterised, Motion Blurs). I really gave it my all this time! The Unity engine really had a job to do here as well; lots of experimenting with looping emission & the force and direction as well as rotation, gravity & velocity, duration/lifespans! The only thing I really didn't mess with was actually moving the different systems around, but that will come one day with time and practice.

![Threshold & Wave | Particle Effects [No Audio]
Particle Effects with visual filters. Some slight morphing, colour changing and other edits. Threshold & Wave | Particle Effects [No Audio]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/4-okfwT3y_M/mqdefault.jpg)




![Edge Detection - Morphing Animation | Abstract Video Art
Using the edge detect visual filter in Windows Movie Maker (over a morphing animation I made in the same software) to create this video.
White background.
A lot of cross-fading (and a few other transitions) went on to make the desired effect happen. I also used the threshold effect to get the edges as sharp as I could. It looks really cool in HD, but in full-screen there are still some quality problems to iron out...
