This technique can introduce everyday objects into 3d fractal animations.

REMBG was used to remove backgrounds from Creative Commons licensed clips. (thanks contrast_) Best to use clear backgrounds like planes and birds. Save as a PNG series of layers.

Make fractal 3d video stream. Use G'MIC or GEGL to lift a top layer of the fractal stream with a clear background. G'MIC Slice luminosity and Joan Rakes Neon Alpha can do this. Both streams are saved as a PNG series.
Now there are 3 PNG streams. They need to be the same number of frames to use ofnuts Interleave Layers.

Interleave the REMBG stream onto the fractal base stream.
Apply the top neon or highlights stream with Interleave layers.

This technique means that almost all editing is done with Gimp and the video editor is only used for clip fades.
I don't know how to get a fade in on a series of layers in Gimp other than using a video editor and bringing the series back in to Gimp.

The big birds are royal albatross from NZ and North American and Tasmanian eagles. The albatross are being wiped-out by plastic in the ocean.

WOW WOW WOW Tas ... that is just something else; and there was me berating myself because my portraits take a couple of weeks and you spent 6 months on this. Very well done.

Thanks OMG, it really doesn't matter how long something takes. Those portraits take time. I did other projects as well. I just wasn't hanging around the shopping mall as much.

Hey Lyle I'm retired so I do have some time but its probably diminishing. I'm 70 next month but happy because I'm convinced the YouTube videos will be online forever. :)

I didn't know what Ninja-d was sallyanne. I haven't started the next video yet

Tas_mania, I'm not surprised this video took you 6 months to make. Very well done!
It even has a bit of a hypnotic effect, I think :smiley2 But above all very cleverly made :jumpclap

Hi Pocholo and Ella. Thanks for your nice comments. I do aim for a hypnotic or a psychological effect in my videos but it's just 'chillin-out' without mood-altering substances. I abuse coffee 3 times a day :)

Pocholo you maybe interested in this. YoTube gets more than 500 hours of video content uploaded every minute.

How they do it is amazing for a geek. I billion hours of videos watched everyday. Distributed cloud databases serving up popular and forgotten content from datacentres around the world. They mainly use hard drives due to cost v reliability. Where will this end or will it live on run by AI?
I'm a fan of deleting videos that are no longer relevant to unload the system :)

Boobl. Thanx.
