Interesting Patterns Of The Sharp Objects (3/3)

I was thinking about how I could make a shinning sparkly text effect, and one idea was to have a simple noise cloud filling a canvas, advancing it with each frame, and then clipping the canvas by the text, or applying a blend-mode to clip it. This was an expensive undertaking since it required a shader running for each text. So I was thinking of simpler terms that I thought, maybe I can have a three layer system in which there is a static noise sitting in between a text clipper and a moving gradient in the background. The gradient would have been many layers of a color’s shade and I would animate its offset. Then it would become the desired text’s texture.
