Andrea Ward - FreeFrames

I've sampled almost all of the free frames but there are four of them, other than the kaleidoscope, that I've focused in on; slide, smear, exclusion, and radial blur.

Slide is a nice effect because it's minimalistic. I could combine it with images knowing that the images won't be overpowered. It reminds me a bit of the editing effects that were used in 500 Days of Summer.

Smear is another simple effect. It smears the image at 3/4 across the page, leaving only part of the image clear. This could add a lot of drama to any image in a film.

Exclusion is a good one because it changes small details in the image, adding a subtle yet powerful change. I like the texture that it creates.

Radial Blur is one of my favorites aesthetically. If you add it to kaleidoscope, it creates quite the unique image.
