  • Making a background image a bit more dynamic/interesting

    Hello folks,

    I’m doing a quick freelance job for a 10 second TV/social spot. I’m not an advanced user but this is a pretty basic animation spot. I just have some elements transition in set to a sound bed. I’m happy with it but I was wondering if there might be a way to subtly make my background image a bit more engaging without being distracting. Maybe some light or color effects?

    Here’s a frame from the spot – the background image remains the same throughout.

    Thanks much, friends.

    Thank you kindly, Dave! I checked out that effect and while I found it cool, this spot is kind of upbeat and corporate/acoustic so I was hoping for something a bit more bright and subtle.

    Any other suggestions? Sorry if my description remains a bit ambiguous.

    it spins right…i would have the sphere that represents the light grown and shrink on a willge and add some kind of colored particles to the background, maybe confetti
