Well I started making a snow globe with CC sphere inside of After Effects... then I started playing around with reflections and then I ended up with this video. There are some interesting techniques for creating the glass reflections so I may release a project file or even do a tutorial. You can never have too many Orb-based tutorials :)
Everything was created with default plug-ins too!
