You see, I've been doing similar programs, but it takes muuuuch longer to render it (+- 2 days/ min). I'm looking for ideas to make it faster. So help is welcome.
as you know there are ready made applications that create suck fractal vids. It is very likely that they will be more efficient than a simple 10-lines program in a C++ or other language that you write on your free time, if for example those programms are configured to use multiple cores of modern processors and even the graphics cards' gpus for extra help in the calculations. So you could look into those. Ive heard of a "Xaos" for example, but there are quite a few out there. Have fun!
We did it on an Amiga A500 (1Mb mem, about 8MHz 16 bit processor) in 1993.
I've uploaded video of it which is only very flickery because of the way we filmed it (decent recording in the post).

1985: 8086cpu + soft floats: 134 Years
2009: 8×3 GHz 8-core: 10 minutes
what a difference!
