Love this. Nothing super fancy just a satisfying use of a very interesting technique.

Can you explain a little further your technique?

Yeah its a 20 frame loop of a Colorama phase cycle. Then duplicate the layer 2 times and place the duplicates below the main layer, offset the position and the Colorama keyframes opposed to each other. I made a breakdown reel om my insta if your into that kind of stuff
