throb color
what is it?
initially, you will be hard pressed to find a stranger plug anywhere. later, you will also find that it will be hard to find a more useful plug - if you are producing instruction/documentation video footage. throb will make a color of your choice (and all colors close enough) pulse towards another color you specify. this plug is difficult to beat in sheer coolness.
what should i use it for?
anyone who first plays with this plug will immediately know that this is THE plug if you want to create your own sci-fi flick. strangely enough, that was not what we created it for. throb was originally developed to make certain elements in a clip stand out - without having to edit the film. you can use it in tutorial movies (e.g. driving lessons) to easily high-lighten objects or actors. but yes, it can animate the color of the ground to make it look as if your actors were exploring Metaluna IV.
