Mandelbrot zoom to ~10^18 in sepia-colors

Mandelbrot zoom using a self-written C plotter from a zoomfactor of roughly 1000 to 10^18. The colorset are sepia-tones of various brightness. The color-scheme is reversed to most normal mandelbrot plots, so the darker the pixel, the faster it diverges to infinity. At 1:36 you can also see a Julia set. The plotter is written in C with SDL, and the source-code is available on github (https://github.com/Amadiro/mandelation ). It uses doubles, and at the end of the video, you can see how the high zoom factor makes the numbers "float" into each-other, as they don't have the necessary precision to distinguish between the individual pixels anymore (so that's not actually a post-processing/video-effect.) The whole video took about two days to render, each frame is rendered at a resolution of 10240x8192 pixels and then scaled down to make it appear smoother (the filtering is not very good, though) yielding ~3500 frames of ~15 GiB total (BMP, ~2GiB as PNGs). The video was created using ffmpeg.
