@swangooo Ah, thank you. :) Yes, I'm a regular visitor of fractalzooms. Not too keen on techno but I love their visuals. This one especially does something for my brain, regardless of what's playing...and this song is an especially nice choice. Hehe, considering that Pink Floyd can make Windows Media Player visualizations seem purposeful, it yields a borderline orgasmic effect combined with this zoom.
@phopkinsski I completely agree. I like trance just fine, but trance is just so repetitious, if you watch the first and last minute of every trance zoom, you get the jist of it almost entirely. David Gilmour gives each riff a different meaning, which in turn gives each zoom level its own personality, and makes for a very unique and mind-numbing experience. I'm glad you liked it. Sadly, only people outside of America can view this video though, because they restricted it in the USA.
@RoxieRedwood You can thank Team Fresh for the video portion, I just dubbed over the original trance audio track. I tried to make the music flow with the zoom, but there's only so much I can do, so most of the synesthetics and synchronizations are purely coincidental--I find this happens alot when it comes to Pink Floyd's music. As for your question, I believe it is generated and recorded by compiling and running a written program, and changing parameters within the code for different effects
@RoxieRedwood Yeah I completely agree, like when I got to 4:14 I knew I had chosen the right song haha. I don't care for techno either, generally. I'm a Pink Floyd fanatic and a science geek so this video is the best of both worlds for me :-)
Wow... O.O Excellent choice of colors and zoom points! (Is that what they're called? Now that I think about it, are you able to choose where you zoom? I'm kind of a fractal noob.) It doesn't feel random like a lot of other zooms do. It feels like oh-so-deliciously intentional, psychedelic, visual math. I wish the projectionists at my local Laser Floyd shows made stuff this good.
Thank you for sharing this with the world. Just one simple question: how did you do that? I mean, I want to know how to create this kind of animation, it's just amazing!
Thanks Matteo. I didn't create the video portion, TeamFresh did, and I just overdubbed it with different music. But to answer your question, the Mandelbrot set is just a simple math equation: Z = Z^2 + C. The pretty colors you see are a graph of this equation, with the X-axis being the real numbers, and the Y-axis being 'imaginary' numbers, or numbers that deal with square root -1. The colors correspond to how deep any given point in the set is. Using a programming language like Perl or Java, we can keep zooming in on a point, and rendering the deepness of the points all around it in different colors. The best takeaway is, all that (infinite) complexity is contained in that 1 little equation!
It sounds like you're trying to use zoom on a picture with finite resolution. In other words, it's impossible to have a picture with arbitrary/infinite resolution, but it is possible to generate everything on the fly, by using math!
swangooo no, on after effects you can create a Mandelbrot and you can zooming for a while without loosing quality, but just for s little bit, in a range to 0 to Infinity on After effect you can zoom 1000 at the maximum quality for example
He meant it's the original. Not the most famous parts that are in the beginning of the Wish Were Here Album, but the less famous parts that are in the ending of the album.
@fractalzooms Thank you, it was a pleasure putting it together!
Wonderful job and music combo.

simply awesome!!!

i like some trance music with fractals, but the floyd & these images are just sublime. now, where is the rest of this brilliant album?

swangooo thanks! I was trying on after effects but I can't keep zooming deep just like in your video, only for a little... Thanks a lot!

That's neat. I never would've guessed AE has a Mandelbrot feature.

Which version is this? I know it's not the original
Michael check the video description

I can't believe you ruined such a great experience by stopping the fractals before the end of the son. : (
