Frames from the OEIS Movie

To celebrate the launching of the OEIS Foundation, Tony Noe has made a movie showing the first 1000 terms of 1000 sequences, with soundtrack from Recaman's sequence A005132. The best way to watch it is to first download the file from http://www.sspectra.com/math/OEISMovie.mov and then play it with QuickTime Player 7. The movie, which plays at 2 frames per second, takes about 8.5 minutes. Using the controls in QuickTime Player, the movie may also be viewed at a slower pace.

Another way to view the movie is frame-by-frame. The movie has been divided into ten parts of 100 frames each. The links shown below point to the ten parts, with each of the 100 frames displayed as a thumbnail. Moving the mouse pointer over a thumbnail displays the first 90 characters of the name of the sequence. Clicking on a thumbnail brings up a full-sized version of the plot. Clicking the full-sized plot links to the sequence in the OEIS.

The concept of displaying the OEIS Movie in this manner came from Simon Plouffe, who did this for an earlier version of the movie. Google's Picasa software was used to create the initial web pages.

The video thumbnail that YouTube displays for this movie is sequence 159999, which is related to the Colatz problem.
