Ambiance and musicy things by: Gordon McGladdery did the outro music the video.
The thought is it my efforts making videos will help educate the world as a whole, and one day generate enough revenue to pay for my kids college education. Until then if you appreciate what you've learned in this video and the effort that went in to it, please SHARE THE VIDEO!

If you REALLY liked it, feel free to pitch a few dollars Smarter Every Day by becoming a Patron.

The technique is called _"Slit-Scan"_ and was developed in the analogue days decades ago. It was used in Stanley Kubricks *"2001: A Space Oddysey"* for the star gate sequence.

It's so cool that when someone says "you're probably cut this out", you use it because it's very important to what you're showing us. It's one of the key components to be smarter every day.

The type of curves you get are:
y = x * tan( w * x + phi )

Where w is related to the propeller and shutter speeds, and phi is phase.

This is the second channel. Please consider subscribing to it if you'd like to learn more about the technical side of what I do.

The slit-scan effect looks amazing!! Also famously used to photograph the stargate sequence in 2001: A Space Odyssey

FYI the background with all the glowing buttons was made by Jack Conte for his music video "Pedals" from 2013. He is one of the founders of Patreon and at the end of the video he talks about his new site called Patreon. He made many amazing music videos before Patreon too.

I was craving to see how you achieved the rolling shutter effect in main video, was very pleased to see this video.

[klnsmn]

The thought process behind this is amazing!

[celtgunn]

So fascinating to learn how the cameras work. Thanks guys!

[Rodman]

Thank you both, for all the beautiful, varied and informative work and presenting it in a way that it can reach many and garner interest and curiosity. It is always a genuine pleasure to see these things, learn and see your enjoyment in your work.

Awesome video Destin! I work in video and deal with rolling shutter all the time. The match up with the high-speed footage is amazing!

[NerdyAardvark]

Amazing! You know you're doing something cool when you have to adjust the integer type.

[GoGreenMan]

love how you explain these concepts! also loved that you put Smarter Everyday on as much as you could, because you know this thing is going to blow up!! how it does!

[rahulsundeep]

This is pure genius! There's a whole lotta stuff you can do in after effects if you understand the technical side of things annd like henry says, they're all 'Stupidly simple'

Cheers!

[KaiHowells]

This is amazing. If you think about it, this is what a 2D representation of a 3D representation of a 4D object would look like.

[Fmily]

I think this kind of stuff is awesome! I really like seeing how different effects achieved in video editing, and now I'm going to have to figure out how to do this same thing in Sony Vegas!

[neilsantos]

I've been hanging out for the next vid. Tots worth the wait!

[sylys]

Congrats, great setup and great video

Watched a 3:45 long ad for you brother, haha! Such a cool behind the scenes video! Im finding that I like these just as much and main videos. Thats not meant to be a diss of the main videos but a testament to how awesome these videos are despite being labeled as "behind the scenes."
