I found this video and technique very intriguing, because it allows for more visually pleasing flow visualization without the need for any additional physical imaging processes. He mainly uses the effect to view fog and mist, but I plan to use it to create more interesting effects regarding smaller fluid systems.

First Place Vote! This video seems to have been made with artistic intentions, though the techniques mentioned could be very useful for scientific purposes. The narrator discusses multiple ways to highlight movement in his scenes, which could be particularly useful for flow visualization if movement and change is what we’re usually interested in.
First Place: I find this incredibly visually interesting. There’s so much information present in video so I love any new way to take advantage of that. I love how much of the subtlety in the example scenes it reveals, like the movement of the little grass tips. This also reminds me of some of my favorite artifacts in composite video which I have a huge affinity for.
Second place; I’m fascinated that this technique takes the same visual information that we normally have and yet reveals so much that is originally hidden from view. If I were standing there and observing the phenomena, I could focus on a few small details in the landscape. This method reveals entire landscapes full of subtle but omnipresent fluid motion that are simultaneously fascinating and beautiful.
