• Stick with simple looping videos (fog, sky, bokeh).

• Use only 2–3 shapes to guide focus.

• Let the camera motion carry the scene—don’t animate everything.

• Use Glow + Blur + Transparency to add depth.

• Always group elements before animating the scene. • Preview often—you’re directing, not decorating.
