Apophysis Animation : JS Bach Cello Suite #1 In G

My first foray into Fractals. Animation was created without scripting but rather by incremental rotation of triangles and default render quality from Apophysis. Next will move the flames to Windows and use Flam3 to render and see what that does quality wise. Frames were concatenated in ImageJ, written to uncompressed AVI, read into MPEG Streamclip and exported as Maximum quality MP4. Audio added in IMovie then final written to MQuicktime at Maximum quality.

love the Music fits perfectly...

I would love to see something made for this piece Samuel Barber: Adagio For Strings op. 11, One of my favorite themes... I have added it to my funeral music... I would like to see some solemn animation match to this music... something I could have played at my remembrance..

link to mp3 here;  Samuel Barber: Adagio For Strings op. 11

I am not entirely happy with the rendering quality on this. Still, it has 300+ independent frames and too over 10 hours to render. Seems that fractals are a bitch in that regard. Will maybe take my flames and rerun the render at a higher quality to se what happens. I am happy with the way the music works with the movement in the animation but the video quality even in HD is pretty sad ;-(. I am also fond of Samuel Barber!!! Maybe I'll look into that for a future project.

WOW...this is gorgeous. You animated that by HAND? I tip my hat to you. I just started to render fractal animations myself. I have a long way to go to catch up to this. Great work-can't wait to see more!

I know I can be a bore 'bout my health and such... Well My wife And I have talked a lot about the music to be play at any memorial service she gives for me... This service is important for her no me... but she has wanted my input for many years now and Adagio for Strings is a main theme to be built upon...

It is a favorite of mine that I often put on repeat and use as white noise to slip off into the void of sleep. She can hear it because my ear phones are so loud...
