The animation starts by defining the waterfall shape. Fractal noise is applied to multiple layers with different settings, each assigned a color from the project palette. Layers are then composited and various effects are added to simulate the appearance of falling water. Animated birds, mist, atmospheric particles, and Color Grading are added for additional details, completing the final animation.
