What can I say? well first of all for the love of god hit the fullscreen button!
(if you are on a low speed line you can click on the hd icon to switch it off/on)

what else 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 760 keyframes, 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 result is a very high quality
13m44s 1.77 GB (1,903,726,592 bytes) .MP4

I love the music, and
I know it wont be to everyone's taste-
but I hope you do to.
As a youtube partner I need to be stricter than most
to make sure I own all rights and/or permissions
to the content I upload on line.

If you have any music requests for my upcoming deep zoom that I would be able to use - by all means send me a mail teamfresh@hd-fractals.com
