Burning Ship Zoom - Colorful Crystals

[laser blaster]

This is my first zoom video ever. Made in Kalles Fraktaler, of course. I like this location a lot. It has some cool kaleidoscopic crystal patterns.

I made the zoom speed a little slower than I would have liked, to give better quality in teh youtube upload and avoid motion compression artifacts. Youtube still butchered the quality anyway, even worse than most other fractal videos (actually, it's about the same, still disappointing, though). The original video was encoded twice in different formats, both at 25 Mbps, but the quality was still pretty excellent. Anyone have any tips for getting better quality out of youtube videos? Oh, and how do I embed a video in a post here?

Nice one! I actually like the slow speed. It gives more time to gaze at the wonderful shapes. I'm still looking for a nice way to combine fast/slow in a deep zoom movie (to compress time and still put some focus on the variety of shapes).

Wonderful. Your contribution is significant since you developed and gave me the formula!
Simply change the https to http in the URL and the forum will embed the movie.
Thanks a lot!
