No matter how deep you go, there's always more. This movie took quite a few days to calculate. In 1993, when i first made a poster of the image i call "blue oyster spiral," which is a zoom at about the 100 Billion X magnification level inside the Mandelbrot Fractal, it took 34 high end Macs 3 days to render it. Today, the same poster can be rendered on one typical PC in just a few hours. Of course, since the Mandelbrot Fractal is infinite in nature, i can still easily find spots i want to explore that take a present day computer months to calculate. I'm ambivalent about the fact that no computer will ever be powerful enough to let me see the infinite detail to be seen in there. On the one hand, there will always be more to see, every time i have access to more computing power. on the other, it will never be enough. oh well :-) Music: "Breakaway" by Big Pig. Copy/paste link below to purchase the music from amazon.com. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000007TX2?ie=UTF8&tag=dinnersobirdcall&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B000007TX2 Fractal: animated in much higher resolution than this with fractal extreme. Fractal Posters available at the link above. I am currently rendering another fractal zoom. It still has a few weeks left before it's done. PS. New! If you really liked this one, I just made an extended remix of it that has a bit more detail. just check my other videos.
