Slow-Motion, the Opposite of Time-Lapse

Pleix is a virtual community of digital artists based in Paris who have done some really cool video work including this slow motion view of dogs jumping, titled Birds.



Another remarkable film is Netlag, what appears to be a map of the world is formed from time-lapse videos made from a web cams around the globe.



Thanks to Till Krueger for the Birds link.

Interactive Khronos Projector


One more thing about the Khronos Projector I mentioned in my last post - You can play with it in real-time on the web. Click the image to the right and you will be directed to a page with several examples. Choose one and it will load an applet that lets you perform the time-warp with your mouse.

The Khronos Projector - Warping Space and Time

Alvaro Cassinelli, University of Tokyo, has created a fascinating new technology called the Khronos Projector. "The Khronos Projector is an interactive-art installation allowing people to explore pre-recorded movie content in an entirely new way. By touching the projection screen, the user is able to send parts of the image forward or backwards in time."

I created two custom time-lapse videos for him and he has processed them with his technology and included them as part of his demonstration.



A thorough technical description (and many more examples) can be seen at
the Khronos Projector web site.

Here's a quick video explanation from Siggraph 2005 that's posted on YouTube...
