Description

Eight differently colored circles are arranged in a circle at the center of the screen - there is a light gray circle there with the eight smaller ones being ringed around its circumference. Each circle begins animating in sequence clockwise from the red one on top, starting at t=1s at 1s intervals. Animation consists of counter-clockwise rotation while the center and translation are adjusted to move the circle outwards and produce the spiral effect. Each circle is rotated around the screen over a period of 2s and moves outwards over a period of 8s. As the circles move out they are faded. When each circle reaches its outermost point, and is completely transparent too, it returns back to its original position in the center, fully opaque, and starts the motion again.
