[quote]I use Final Cut 7 to edit my videos. It's my favorite media editing platform. The new Final Cut is pro-sumer dog shit. For installations, I write patches in MaxMSP/Jitter.

The effect is achieved using exponential scaling. When you scale stuff exponentially, you can get to a billion actually pretty quickly.

It took me all day to make the video, a significant amount of time, but not weeks, not months, and not using a supercomputer.

If you think it's growing and growing, you're thinking about it the wrong way. The frame stays the same (HD size, 720p, etc). What's happening is exponential *shrinkage.* Not enlargement. Ken Burns is exponentially shrinking into a sea of himself.

I made small aesthetic adjustments along the way to make it more interesting but, pretty much, didn't do anything. No audio effects, for example, except I did an EQ roll off on the highs because this is essentially a mega-feedback thing, and, especially on a digital platform, the mids to highs can get brutal on your ears. There was a lot of attention paid to this thing called "gain staging." (look it up, it's interesting stuff).[/quote]

So strange, so calming, so terrifying.

:saxout:

Seriously, towards the end it begins to sound like ominous music you'd hear in an old Disney movie.

All that jazz

It's rendered in chunks; each wave is only 4 720p videos. So not that long.

I really didn't think it would turn out like that holy hell that's funny.

Did not come in here expecting those visuals toward the end.

Also YAAAAZZ

Towards the end it sounds like it came out of a scary game that was made in the ps1 era or something

I was honestly expecting to see the blobs spell out "kill your parents" for a half second or something, that was real spooky.
