Concept
We treated colour like weather: fronts of hue moving through space, colliding and dissolving without ever settling.
Simulation
Fluid and cloth solvers drove the base motion, then were re-timed by hand so every drift lands on a musical beat.
Render
Physically-based glass and subsurface materials give the gradients depth, catching light like blown sugar.
Cut
The edit breathes — long holds broken by sharp transitions — so the loop feels endless without ever repeating.
