The specks gradually grow larger and take the shape of bubbles, then even larger into rivulets of water on a transparent surface.

Ideally, the film should be projected on a 30" wide white card sitting on a music stand, center stage of a large auditorium or music hall, with sound from the projector piped into the big speaker system. The film is most effective this way, but can be shown normal-size also
