Using Newton's method to compute the five roots of a complex polynomial, one recognizes that coloring each starting point in the color of the root Newton's method will converge to results in fractal structures. This is a video of zooming into this structure, computed from roughly 1200 images, width of the image ranging from 240 to 0.0000000000000000002, which is when the floating point representation of my computer couldn't handle the small numbers any more (pixels become visible).
