While playing with Quartz Composer, the only composition I made with a clear intention of using it was this one:

As you can see, it’s just my band ’s logo, subtly glowing (or breathing, as you wish). It’s a simple but effective animated stage backdrop. I haven’t used it in any of our concert, but next time a video projector is present on stage, I will! :)

As usual, here is the source composition , and a preview of the patch:

Short Quartz Composer patch running an image through a colour invert and a bloom whose radius is driven by an LFO, then out to a billboard

    Very nice though I find it glows a bit too much. Maybe on a bigger screen it will look better. It's pretty awesome anyway.

      You may be right. Things looks so much different on a big screen, and in the dark, that this composition surely needs tweakings.

    Cool, I finally made my way here following some web searches and this particular video on Youtube. I found coding for such ubiquitous animations way too heavy for daily use, yet I'm too new to Quartz Composer that I could only made an image glow but not animated... Cheers!
