[Frameworks] Color separation experiment

[Eric Theise]

Hi John,

Since Andre mentioned the Cantrills, I will say that their Waterfall is
perhaps my favorite color separation film. But more recently, there was Ben
River's sloth film, Now, At Last! <https://vimeo.com/320467431>, and I
believe Tomonari Nishikawa has made more than one. I doubt he's on
Frameworks but I've always found him to be a friendly problem solver so you
might want to reach out to him:
