Hi all, wanted to share this way I used Blender (also shared on reddit):

Many of @theluthier 's tutorials were so helpful, especially the clouds series (which I hope to practice more during #COLLAB2021! :) )
Some areas I still don't understand:
- How to prepare for a full-res composite. I started out at 25% size, but when I went to scale up (to 6528 x 3264), I had to do a lot of readjusting of transforms and masks, and the compositor took several seconds to refresh at every change (I learned to press Esc a lot).
- Some nodes seemed to fail at larger scales. They would appear to be cropped and wouldn't fill up the full-res frame: ellipse and box masks with fast gaussian blur; lens distortion (for dispersion).
- Maybe one day I’ll actually be able to animate the progression!
