Who's to say a dimensionally compressed substring metasphere does not look
like a slightly-deflated clear-plastic shopping bag...? :)

The scene is -very- simple - a few boxes with a cell pattern, inside a
sphere with an emission media. Then a "wrinkles" normal applied to the
camera. The background is (of course) all Chris Colefax, as is the
lensflares.

Hmm - the "glaring" effect is semi-intentional. I'd imagined some very high
energy expenditures to do the "velocity insertion" (ok - some meaningless
crap I dreamed up) so you'd see a lot of light being emitted. (Of course,
when the insertion singularity finally forms, all of the light will
disappear - insufficient escape velocity for the local gravity gradient...)
Sort of like a focused and precisely controlled fusion explosion (to
generate the tempratures, pressures and focused gravitational effects
necessary to literally tear a hole in spacetime, and thumb your nose at
Einstein).

Ok, for all the physicists here, I don't have a clue what I'm talking about.
Besides, if you are so advanced that you have the technical capability to
do the above, you probably won't need to..

Not at all.
