* ASMR Waterfall Loop
I know you folks like these ASMR bits.
* The animation is very subtle, and I had to slow it down. I did add noise to let it show up better, but when I made the compressed video, it lost some of the noise and also smoothed out a bit.
* Back in the day, I used to actually SELL moving/animated frames Waterfall pictures in the malls at Christmas time.
So, I know these cheesy things are popular.

* If you guys want to rip the video file and use it, you're welcome to use it for art projects, and student projects.

* I had trouble with Alpha channels and color keying, so I had to resort to super imposition tricks using masking, feathering, opacity, Adjustment layers, and blending options. Basically, it's using flat planes and compositing them. I also, actually didn't use any matts.

* The Back Story:
I originally made this project in Fall 2016 at UMASS Boston for a Video Mapping assignment.
I've been growing & learning a lot with compositing, overlays, and YES even particles.
The original animated particles on this were created by animator David Biedny.
He was sick with the flu, or something, when he whipped the animation bits together for me, because I had no one to help me with learning or teaching particles at UMASS Boston. I don't think I could ever do anything as fast as he made those particle bits. He slapped the stuff together because I kept pestering him to teach me how. He stubbornly refuses to teach me anything, like a stubborn Zen master and often says "I'M NOT YOUR TEACHER!!!"
:( I guess I'm NOT Yale Material, huh?
I've probably created so many other projects and footage with the bits he'd animated for me. This one also includes other footage I have.
But I want to move onto making my own basic particles from WITHIN my actual projects from here on out, and not Frankestein'ing them form other parts n pieces.
