Sure bud here is a screenshot so far, basically created a solid with the chosen colour. disabled the viewing of the layer. Then using the vertex tracing the footage lines… I applied your find edges and fast box blur. Applied a slight inner glow on them as well, and added deep glow plugin on top of the layers.
I watched a making recently of the old 80s HBO intro, and the guy did the starburst animation effect. By applying 2 layers. One layer with the completed pattern, then moving a black layer with cuts in it, that moves over the other layer. Creating a bursting animation effect.
I suspect the original version of this spiral probably used masks in a similar way, so done that in AE… I’ll post the final version of the video when finished 🙂
