HOW IT'S MADE

Haunted TV Static comes from a single particle emitter. Techniques worth a look: sprite modules, keyframed parameters and post filters (bloom and vignette). A scene layer (ground or a prop) shows in the studio for context and stays out of every export.

Every layer emits continuously and the 3 s loop closes seamlessly, so it can run for as long as you need. To see it on your own character, press Use my sprite in the studio: every layer follows the new sprite.
