Thank you for your very kind words! 41 was a total lark for me. I'm not fond of the circular swirl blur trend mostly because I see everyone do it. I wanted to focus on the activity amongst the three of them and make the surroundings "melt away" the way it would have been for the characters involved so I tried it. I understand the appeal -- it's kind of cool to give up control in some ways -- but I never could decide if the swirls achieved what I wanted or if the smears distracted from the terrible, terrible moment as Teal'c kills Amaunet to save Daniel.
You're so very welcome for the tutorial! I'm thrilled to the Nth degree that you found it useful. I have no idea if what I do is the best way but it's what I figured out for working with it from the 200+ recipes that I tried. I'm very, very glad that it works for you! And I've now seen your icons so you won't convince me that you threw poo at the icon. ;)
