Some Random Dude

Ahh, finally a demonstration that mimics an acid trip. seriously, this is the kind of stuff you see during the experience…;-)

What are you trying to say?

lets just say that experience DOES leads to wisdom.
(and what doesn’t destroy you makes you stronger.)

The youTube comments actually go into quite a discussion on the techniques used to achieve this effect.
It’s not trivial but with the right set up (commonly available video editing tools) not out of reach of most video editors technically… the problem is producing the right source material to make the effect as visually impressive as it is here…
That said, I’ve watched it 4 of 5 times now and it’s quite mesmerising

I’m going to have to check out those comments because I would love to see how this was done.

i believe that muse had used this method in their music video for “unintended”. yup.

it is cool and still i cant understand what can they do?

This effect is really easy to do. It’s called a ‘time displacement map’ and it’s done in a piece of adobe software called after effects. the ‘map’ is just a black and white image being applied to a source image (the video of the girl). the software offsets the time based on the grey value of the pixel. ie. black = offset by 4 seconds, grey = 2 seconds, and white = no offset

woah thats pretty amazing what what you can do with videos now

An acid trip? more like the whole lab got consumed.

I stumbled here and loved the video. The music was perfect.
I want to try something like that…

An effect that is long known to the demoscene and that has been used in many realtime demonstrations like this one:

Damn! Wasn’t expecting something like this. I can think of many possibilities with this effect. This effect can do wonders for movie production. Though its perfect and lacks some finishing touches, but still worth looking at.
