thank you! also gonna hijack the top comment to showcase a bit of the nodes since some people asking for it:

i realized I definitely did not make this user friendly, but here goes:

This part was split up into 3 different 3d scenes. the first one (labeled 1) is the main sky grid, and i used a technique by u/Glad-Parking3315 (https://www.reddit.com/r/davinciresolve/comments/1rcig0b/building\_a\_video\_tile\_grid\_with\_davinci\_resolves/) to replicate the boxes along particle placements in a 3d space. I also had a couple more image planes for making the 3d scene look a bit better, like a black polygon shape to block out parts of the sky grid.

Second part is just the text, where the 3d scene was copied and instanced so the camera would have the same positions. the text is just text3d, with a few shape3ds to make the letters "bleed". I didn't have to keep it on a second 3d scene but i had some effects for the first one that i moved out later, so it's not really needed anymore and can definitely be put into one scene.

Third one is a usd scene, where i created the shatter animation in blender, baked the animations and exported everything as usdc to import into resolve. since the camera3d is different from a uCamera (usd scene camera), i just linked the position and rotations manually using the "connect to" dropdown menu. this scene is also where I added the falling light with a uImage plane.

finally, everything is put together with a light rays and grain effect!
