This is the current stinger I’m using on my Twitch/Mixer live stream. I modeled it on the 1960’s Batman TV show stinger, because why not? In the actual version in use, the background is replaced with a chroma green color so that the…

This was another attempt to replicate a video I saw on TV. The original was featured in a car commercial and only focused on a single fold-out panel at a time, while the camera moved along to focus on that panel. But…

This is a pretty common effect. So common that I think when I was done, I was reminded of intro videos of 1970’s variety shows. I have no explanation beyond that. I started this after the unfolding video because I wanted to see if there…
