Critique

Our inner critics are satisfied with the outcome. The audio and visual components loop seamlessly. The artistic nature of the product is enhanced by the parallax scrolling background, which adds a sense of distance, as if staring into the depths of space. Likewise, all components, from the audio and sound effects to the stars and textures, fit into the space theme.

The illusion is also quite apparent, though its effectiveness seems to be diminished by the video's low framerate. Still, the central circles appear to change in size as the surrounding ones expand and contract. The contrasting colors also helps draw the viewers attention towards the central circles and the illusion itself.

The quality of the audio seems to have deteriorated from the original and seem to fade in and out when the loop starts and ends. This was not an intended effect and emphasizes that it is in a loop and not endless, which takes away from the immersive experience. Also, the wind recording seems to overpower the rest of the audio in volume and only appear in the middle of the audio, whereas it should be continuous and mostly in the background.
