This compilation shows several projector images beamed through the smoke of a candle. The candle was blown out and the image was projected through the path of the smoke, causing swirls of changing colors.

Such an elegant image. Love the colors against the black background.
I really like the still image. The videos were cool to see the flow in real time, they were mesmerizing. But, the picture is great because it captures a single moment during the flow. It changes so quickly that it’s cool to see a still shot and analyze the details.
Excellent visual! the smoke is both perfectly lit and perfectly focused! from my experience I know smoke is hard to light and can easily be overexposed! great work
I thought your music choice was bright and full of energy, and you paired that well with the flow vis cuts!
I think the music credit was a bit intrusive. I would put it in with our credits.
The visuals in this video were awesome overall. You were able to obtain some amazing clarity to imaging the smoke plumes!
Beautiful visuals. The music is great. Overall captivating video.
I love the flow and the colors. The music was chosen well since it matches the upbeat flow.
I wish this wasn’t as fast but its a nice contrast to the rest of your team’s videos. The concept and execution is awesome!
This video is very well framed and resolved. Great work.
I like that this video is quicker than the others, the music plays to that very well.
This is a cool setup. seems easy to do and there are great results. Adding the colors through the projector came out great. Nice job.
Great video, I like the effect that the different music and frame rate has on how the flow feels when compared to your teammates’ work. Focus and exposure are good.
Great video! The music pairs well with the flow. Good job
I really liked the pacing of this video. The quickness and the high energy of this music works with the direction of the smoke’s flow and the colors that you used.
Coming from the previous two, I dig the music. I really like how upbeat and energetic this is, and the fact that tons of different flows and colors are being shown. Great video!
It feels so happy and interesting! A completely different style and the timing was really excellent! Fascinating version of the flow.
I really like the different effect of the more upbeat music. I can’t say I have a preference for the slow or fast. These are all absolutely stunning, and the focus and colors are beautiful.
So into the different choice of music. Nicely done. Beautiful showcase of flow.
The upbeat music gives the video a different feel than your teammate’s videos. I like the choice of the music and the colors in the video were very appealing. Overall, great video and experiment.
Good flow. The colors and focus are well done. The music was a little intrusive.
The more upbeat music works really well with the smoke, I like the plumes timed with the beat. Nice choice of music for the visuals.
I like the different music on this, it adds a different feel to the video than some of your teammates. Good colors and focus on the smoke.
I really like the different rainbows that form in the candle smoke. I liked the upbeat motion and the syncing of the cutting of the video and the change of tempo in the music. This is an excellent visualization of smoke. Very interesting overall!
I like how this video has a faster more upbeat tempo to it. The music also reinforces this effect.
This is just as beautiful as the other videos. The music was a great choice and with the smoke moving relatively fast, the focus stays crisp.
The video looks like it was pretty sped up which adds to the transitional fades between colors and flows. Music also adds to the video as well!
Totally different direction from the others in terms of speed and music. Its very interesting
I really like the sped up video, with quicker music than the others. It has a very different effect than the other videos.
This is a really peaceful video. The music flows well with the different colored smoke. It is very appealing to look at and the physics of the flow are very visible. Great video!
Nice. I like it. There are some nice instabilities that can be seen.
I really like the different rainbows that form in the candle smoke. Is this a natural effect or something that you added in editing? Either way, excellent visualization of smoke. Very interesting overall!
Great exposures and contrast, that camera guy really knows what he’s doing. I like that you played it backwards. Overall great video.
