+'''Recursion''' is a technique that involves the repetition of an element within itself.

+=Fractals=
+Fractals are shapes that contain infinite details the further you zoom in.
+==Mandelbrot Set==
+Can be generated natively with [[After Effects]] or with the "Mandelbot" plugin in [[Chosen Few FX]].

+==Sierpinski's Triangle==
+==Menger Sponge==
+Similar concept to Sierpinski's Triangle but with squares.
+=Usage=
+==Recursive [[Recycling]]==
+This is the simplest type of recursion to set up. The concept is that you set up an effect, render it, then go back into that effect and replace the footage with that render. Do that as many times as you wish for a cool recursive effect.
+==Analog Recursion==
+A type of [[Analog Distortion]], this style of recursive editing involves ''filming'' the output while piping that input as the output, live. This is commonly also known as a '''feedback loop''' or '''analog trails''' and can create effects that range from rainbow [[trails]] to fractal patterns.
