Reflection: Which special effect did you use best? Describe what effect you used and why you think this worked. What mood were you trying to communicate? What idea were you trying to show by using this image and effect? The special effect that we used the best would have to be the twirl under the gpu effects in the effect control folder. The effect we used was the TWIRL and I think it worked because it was totally different than the original video and it was a wierd thing and blew my mind. The mood that we were trying to communicate was a kinda dark and mystic one. It was a lot of dark and scary trees and it went with the kinda dark theme of our stanza. The idea that we were trying to show by using the twirl was that the trees were freaky and kinda make the viewer have an uneasy feeling.
