download the 1.8GB mp4 @ http://www.hd-fractals.com/downloads/ What can I say? how about the bare facts. I will let you make up your mind about the animation itself and hope you leave a comment. so here are the facts… Two days to set up, and then six months to render, resulted in around forty 1.9GB uncompressed .AVI files. I added watermarking, fx and time remapping, before multi-pass encoding the 80GB video in h264 (32,768 kbit/sec) and the audio in AAC. The final result is a very high quality 13m44s 1.77 GB (1,903,726,592 bytes) .MP4 can be downloaded instantly from my blog here http://www.hd-fractals.com/last-lights-on/ then I compressed again to a very watchable 1GB (10,000 kbit/sec) for vimeo. then I remapped the video from this and remixed another audio track to create A 10 minute version for youtube. actually the audio really is something special on this. special thanks to record label http://90watts for this one! A decent stereo/ headphones are seriously recommended for this deep tech house sound. a two track mix by yours truly – teamfresh. track one is tonu su tonu by ivan masa (pablo rez remix) Quote “Pablo Rez surprised us with this strong tech house remix. A track you almost can drop any where, any time” track two is soul survivor by solar brothers ft sherry dyanne (moog mix) Quote “This version will fit you well, if you’re into the current tech-house sound that is. Expect thick and thumpy synths and basslines. Appropriate for later progress in the evening as well as taking it down a notch, whilst sustaining the energy level. You also want to play this, to make people start bouncing if they’re reluctant somehow” The final magnification of the Mandelbrot fractal is 6.066e+228 (2760) want some perspective? 1E6 Vancouver Island 1E9 Jupiter’s radius 1E12 Earth’s orbit 1E18 distance to Alpha Centauri 1E21 Milky Way galaxy 1E30 large doesn’t cover it! 1E42 size of electron to the universe 1E228 incomprehensibly big…but we did it! For the record, 1 to 6e228 is like expanding a proton to 7000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 times the size of the visible universe.
