"Swirl & Implode Revision" By Scarlet

Hi all. Scarlet Pirate Voyager here with a brand new discovery.
This is a take-off on a technique called
"SWIRL & IMPLODE"
originally written by Nyghtmoves, archived by SpanishLady Rider.

Instead of taking your graphic through the steps, you are going to
PRE-BUILD
a matte in order to COMPOSITE your graphic to. By using a pre-made background that you will make with the steps, you should get more "action" called out for by the effects.
"BACKGROUNDS FROM SCRATCH"
NOTE: The idea of this is to be able to utilize pre-made backgrounds. Use PLASMA,GRADIENT, PATTERNS for this.

Just make sure that you get an appropriate COMPOSITE effect and/or choose a GRAVITY to place it in

SKELETAL FORMULA
MAKE A PLASMA BACKGROUND
(Make it wider than your graphic)

F/X SWIRL= 2500 or -2500

F/X IMPLODE= -2

F/X IMPLODE= +1

F/X IMPLODE= +1

COMPOSITE A GRAPHIC ONTO YOUR MATTE NOW.
I suggest trying
COMPOSITE /DIFFERENCE
but if any other COMPOSITE EFFECTS work for you, then use them. From the results so far,
COMPOSITE/HARDLIGHT
for some reason wipes out the "ACTION" you made in the Plasma background before Compositing the graphic so beware...

FINISH UP AS YOU LIKE USING EFFECTS FROM "ENHANCE", "EFFECTS", "DECORATE", "ANNOTATE," ETC.

**NOTE: THE COLORS CONVERGE FROM THE "CIRCLE" YOU MADE WITH YOUR SWIRL IN THE MIDDLE. IF THIS CONFLICTS WITH YOUR COMPOSITING OUTCOME, THEN JUST CHANGE GRAVITY TO EAST OR WEST ON YOUR COMPOSITE AND YOU WILL BE SURPRISED AT THE DIFFERENCE HENCE THE REASON WHY MAKING THE BACKGROUND WIDER.
