Twitter Profile Blur Effect

I've had so much fun learning Quartz Composer and Origami last few days that I really wanna share it. I understand QC has a very steep learning curve and the best way to learn is to do.

So this blur effect of Twitter profile is the first one from a series of bite-sized tutorials to get your hands dirty. I break things down in sections with notes so anyone could digest easily. Written tutorials are coming soon. Stay tuned everyone!

To understand why QC is preferred than After Effects in some scenarios, you can also download the demo and try it here: https://copy.com/G34QqthgZQbH0uaE. (*You don't need QC and Origami installed*)
