wow, the power of computers back then. It would almost be easier to draw it by hand :-p I always wanted an Apple IIe when I was a kid but we never got one. Someday I might just get one off eBay just to have one. Thanks for sharing!

Actually... It was tricked out with an arithmetic co-processor.
(A calculator for the computer.)
Once the program started, the computer controlled
the color filters and camera shutter.
See my flickr page, same user name.
The CineMagic photo set.
(Dang! YouTube should permit URLs!)

An oldie, but a good one! Boy are we spoiled with processor power these days. The demo looks like some real dedication was put into it, thanks for sharing :)

I have several of these cameras. They rock. Probably the most amazing super-8 camera ever made. I still shoot with mine and find I can be infinitely more creative with it than shooting with a dinky digital camcorder.

Can any of the current digital cameras (still or video) do long expose and time lapse/stopmotion?
There is software that knits together video stills into a long exposure. Another that converts stills into video. Same company. Different products.

CineMagic article at my flickr page.

The 'PARADOX' logo was done without backwinding,
Up to 90 exposures per frame!
Bessel figures:
Each line moved up 2 pixels and right 2 pixels to simulate 3d.
Hidden line removal to make them seem opaque.
Each color filmed seperately without backwinding.
300,000 floating point calulations in one minute. Not bad for 0.001 Ghz!
Another minute to film each frame.
See "Asteroid!" teaser at 1:22 to 1:31.
Are you a filmmaker?
