It made me think about an airshow, when you see airplanes flying with
trails of various colors, drawing stuff on the sky, you know, thing like
this:

Oooooh exactly!!!! I think there's a lot of possibility for some cool
visual treatments using the trails like that :)
To be honest, it made me think more at anime I saw recently where they
had such colored trails drawn by some ships (or they were mechas? I
guess so) preparing for some intergalactic fight (that being the link
with space :D )
Hehe, you don't happen to remember the name of the anime do you?
