    adjustGlobalObjTransformer(confettiObjs, random_raise_z, [0, P.endFrm])

Motion program transformer code. We change the appearance of the background, text and falling objects to spring-themed images. In order to make the falling petals look more natural, we apply a swaying motion texture. Finally, we animate the entire video on 3s to better match the pixel art look.

Motion program transformer code. We use a similar program transformation as 'SPRING', but with a drift instead of a swaying motion for the falling raindrops. We also make the rain fall at a faster rate than the petals.
