Description
The scene was made for a THX-like cinemascope trailer.
It was a fly-by/fly-through of a gong with tubular bells. I removed the bells
and the logo in the scene.
Basically it does the anisotropic effect by blending and translating (i.e.
rotating) gradients on the disc using expressions.
All the circles and squares are needed to get some information for light and
camera positions in relation to the disc-center.
Using shaders the result might look better/more realistic, but as a work-around
for a lo-budget project (as this was) it serves the purpose.
