An afterthought. For those who asked about how it's done.

1. It's just three candles in three ramekins. The ribbed walls of the ramekins make the light splay out in a pointy manner.
2-3. Same candles, same dishes, but zooming in and out.
4-6. Rotating them on a lazy Susan (I have an old record deck which I might try next time to get a smoother movement, though I expect it will probably be too fast).
7-8. Zooming on the lazy Susan.
