infinite zoom: the inner universe

HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN VIDEO LIKE THIS
____________________________________________

1. create 40 images in Photoshop. Each is around 4000 pixels on each side. Each image contained a small version of the next image.

2. The idea is to make the first image expand until the middle section is full screen. Then replace the middle section with the next picture, and make THAT expand. And so on.

The hardest part was making the objects expand smoothly. Easy in After Effects. Very hard in Blender. See my source files for details.

Good luck!

FAQ:
____________________________________________

Why does the woman look odd?
I had to create a fake super-high resolution image from lots of lower resolution images. It gives the image a strange distorted plastic look. If I had better source images it would look better. But I like interesting faces, so I left it.

Is every detail accurate?
It's an accurate guide to "the sort of thing" you would find. For example, real atoms are basically full of empty space. But I showed a lot of crazy patterns because there are quantum fluctuations and probability fields that make atoms fascinating links to infinite possibilities.

Music:
This video uses three pieces. In order, they are:
"Haunting" by Matthew Milne of Logan Leistikow's Public Music Project. The PMP was a site devoted to providing free (and royalty free) music for projects like this. Milne confirmed by email that he is happy for me to use this piece. He's a great guy.

Music was merged using Audacity. Audacity and Blender (and the Gimp for the art) are free and open source.

Finally someone who shares my theory abou the infinite zoom. I had this theory since highschool but my teachers couldnt understand. My idea is that every finite thing is linear and every infinite thing is circular. So if you would zoom infinitely you would at some point arrive back where you started. The infinite loop as I also call it will probably take place in another dimension so we would experience it as a linear thing. Does anyone else have these thoughts?

She looks like she's trying to be calm, but was dumped by a guy and now full of rage, resentment, hate.
She will get her revenge.

Scary look for sure.

Wow. Who knew we could be living in someone's eye, or someone could be living in our eyes. I like to think after watching this, that every time we blink, someone in our universe dies.

who knows, the entire universe may be a school science project of an alien child, which got a 'C' grade

vaishnavplays

now you see who you are. The inside is the outside and the outside is the inside. There is only one thing and that is all that is. Love one another and you love yourself, Love yourself and you will love the other as there is no other.
