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, (could have been quicker but unfortunately I have a real job): 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 (32768 kbit/sec) and the audio in AAC. The final result is a very high quality 13m44s 1.77 GB (1903726592 bytes) .MP4 can be downloaded instantly from my blog here www.hd-fractals.com then I compressed again to a very watchable 1GB (10000 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 90watts for this one!

Google Tech Talk June 15, 2009 ABSTRACT The Marriage of Fractals and Splines: Fractals with Control Points, Splines as Attractors Presented by Ron Goldman, Department of Computer Science, Rice University. Fractals and splines have very different geometric features. Fractals can be continuous everywhere, yet differentiable nowhere. Fractals are often selfsimilar curves with fractional dimension. And fractals are also attractors, fixed points of iterated function systems. In contrast, splines are piecewise polynomial curves, so well behaved that they are often used for large scale industrial design and manufacture. Splines are essentially polynomials, so splines are onedimensional curves that are differentiable everywhere. Splines have control points -- polynomial coefficients -- that can be used to control the shape of the spline in an intuitive fashion. Moreover, unlike fractals, splines have parametrizations. Nevertheless, the goal of this talk is to marry fractals and splines: to demonstrate that fractals and splines share many geometric properties and algorithms. We shall show that just like splines, fractals can be parametrized and fractals have control points that allow us to adjust the shape of the fractal in an intuitive manner. Moreover, just like fractals, splines are attractors, fixed points of iterated function systems. We shall show how to apply fractal algorithms to generate splines and spline algorithms to generate fractals. We conclude that fractals and ...

fractals
A fractal is generally "a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole," a property called self-similarity. The term was coined by Benoît Mandelbrot in 1975 and was derived from the Latin fractus meaning "broken" or "fractured." A mathematical fractal is based on an equation that undergoes iteration, a form of feedback based on recursion. A fractal often has the following features: •It has a fine structure at arbitrarily small scales. •It is too irregular to be easily described in traditional Euclidean geometric language. •It is self-similar (at least approximately or stochastically). •It has a Hausdorff dimension which is greater than its topological dimension (although this requirement is not met by space-filling curves such as the Hilbert curve). •It has a simple and recursive definition. Because they appear similar at all levels of magnification, fractals are often considered to be infinitely complex (in informal terms). Natural objects that approximate fractals to a degree include clouds, mountain ranges, lightning bolts, coastlines, and snow flakes. However, not all self-similar objects are fractals—for example, the real line (a straight Euclidean line) is formally self-similar but fails to have other fractal characteristics; for instance, it is regular enough to be described in Euclidean terms. Images of fractals can be created using fractal generating software. Images ...

This is a presentation developed with Photostory MS, for class. By myself. It's about Fractal Art, basically I go over how to make a basic fractal, and include several entertaining facts about fractals. Sorry about the weird presentation errors.. such as my voice getting louder towards the end. It's because I did the last third after Christmas, and I'm not sure, but I must have been using a different microphone or something. In any case, Please leave a comment if you learnt anything ;)

Fractal Antenna From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "An example of a fractal antenna: a space-filling curve called a Minkowski Island (ref 1).A fractal antenna is an antenna that uses a fractal, self-similar design to maximize the length, or increase the perimeter (on inside sections or the outer structure), of material that can receive or transmit electromagnetic signals within a given total surface area or volume. Such fractal antennas are also referred to as multilevel, and space filling curves, but the key aspect lies in their repetition of a motif over two or more scale sizes,[1] or 'iterations'. For this reason, fractal antennas are very compact, are multiband or wideband, and have useful applications in cellular telephone and microwave communications. A good example of a fractal antenna as a spacefilling curve is in the form of a shrunken fractal helix [2] Here, each line of copper is just small fraction of a wavelength. A fractal antenna's response differs markedly from traditional antenna designs, in that it is capable of operating with good-to-excellent performance at many different frequencies simultaneously. Normally standard antennas have to be "cut" for the frequency for which they are to be used—and thus the standard antennas only work well at that frequency. This makes the fractal antenna an excellent design for wideband and multiband applications.... Fractal element antennas and superior performance Antenna elements (as opposed to antenna arrays) made ...

Video feedback is a well-known phenomenon. If you hook a camera up to a TV and then point it at the TV, you get an infinite regression of images. However, you can use the same feedback phenomenon with multiple displays to make fractals. By displaying multiple smaller copies of what the camera sees, photographing that cluster of copies, and then repeating the process, you essentially create the self-similar structure seen in fractals. By moving and rotating the camera and projectors, you can create a very wide variety of fractal images. The images seen in this video are not software-processed in any way. The camera is plugged in directly to the projectors. The pulsing and color shifting comes from the white balance andgain control of the camera. In this setup, we're "computing" the fractal by using light on a wall as memory and the physical geometry of the path taken by the light into the camera and out from the projector as the processor to calculate the appropriate affine transformations. Given that both TV cameras and video projectors were around back in the late 1940s, it's possible that someone could have done this sort of setup at the dawn of the computer age.
