Hollow Purple
A five-phase energy sequence that doubles as a calculus visualiser: the blue phase renders partial sums, asymptotic rings and Zeno-style halving.
01
The problem
Convergent series are taught as symbols, not as something you can watch approach a limit.
02
How I approached it
Each phase of the animation is bound to real series maths: partial sums Sₙ, the limit S∞, and the remainder Rₙ shrinking to zero, drawn as overlay geometry.
03
The outcome
An effects piece that actually teaches the convergence it animates.
