Hello, I have been heading the work on a fractal animation DVD for a couple of years, and it's almost ready to be released. Currently (the editing has just begun) the play time is an hour and forty minutes. The final cut will be between 1:40 and 2:00. Visit the web site to see a couple segments and a teaser trailer. The site may be slow - I have not yet moved it off my Comcast webspace. thanks, Eric Williams www.biocursion.com eric@biocursion.com

Thanks for the positive comments. I'm planning on setting up an ecommerce site prior to release. It's not a priority since there are still two key animations (non-fractal) left to complete and render. Biocursion is set for release on Sept 14th. So far, there's no indication this won't happen. Attached is a frame from a rough draft (only lighting needs attention - mainly to get rid of the hard-edged shadows) Eric

Here's a frame from a fractal animation segement. The blur was achieved using Lightwave - something UF 4 does out of the box. The theme of biocursion is very "basic" fractal patterns. Very few animations use filters - and none are layered (I can a possible contributor with some layered animations, but deal hasn't gone through yet). The original basis for this was back in the ealy '90s when I saw my first poster of a mandelbrot - I'd study it for long periods of time. 2-4 of the biocurion segments are pretty slow paced, giving you time to really see the set. The animation clips on the site are two examples of some non-basic fractals.
