Description

A glowing water cascade pours through bamboo chutes and ceramic vessels at a tropical sunset, built from thousands of ellipse paths baked into one shape layer and upscaled into fluid motion. Created entirely with Atom from a prompt to make the impossible in After Effects.

Starting prompt

The first message sent to Atom to create this template. What’s Atom?

I really want you to challenge yourself right now. I want you to create something in After Effects that shouldn’t be possible. It’s something that would not cross other people’s minds given the limitations of After Effects, given what normal human creators would not be able to achieve, right? You are an AI that can do incredibly complicated computation, and so I want you to push that to the limit inside of After Effects. One principle I want you to remember is that the most complicated idea is not necessarily the best. We want something that really wows whoever’s going to see this and who wouldn’t believe that it was built in After Effects. Really wow me here.
