The Splendor of Color: A Kaleidoscope Video

For some reason involving the way our mind, consciousness, color perceptors, visual pattern recognition systems and visual motion predictors are connected to our emotions, the beautiful colors of these fractal flame images combined with the gently changing forms of a slowly rotating kaleidoscope is a soothing, calming, relaxing and pleasant experience.

These are soothing and calming kaleidoscope videos that I made to help people with PTSD. They are also useful for dealing with intense paranoia. A lot of cannabis, mushroom and LSD users watch this video if they start feeling paranoid and it guides them back to a pleasant reality and a more enjoyable trip. These videos are good for meditation and are used in some clinical settings for guided hypnosis.

This video also is soothing and mesmerizing for crying babies and children suffering from autism, as well as older adults who are suffering from advanced Alzheimer's. I keep getting orders for Splendor Version 1.5 from the Netherlands because the DVDs keep wearing out in an advanced Alzheimer's video watching facility there, where the DVD plays on a loop all day.

I have versions of the kaleidoscope that turn faster than version 1.5 shown above, but this is the slowest of them all. This is the one that the advanced Alzheimer's patients prefer. The still photos of the fractal flames are being rotated in 360 degrees over 120 seconds, or half the speed of the second hand on a clock.

THIS IS A BENEVOLENT REVOLUTION

These spectacular videos are two full hours of crystal clear, colorful, detailed and ever-changing kaleidoscopes with modern, relaxing background music. Created for enjoyment on your PC or away from the computer on Media Players connected large HDTVs in home theaters.

Take a break from the noise and haste of daily life and play 120 minutes of calm, gorgeous, continuously changing kaleidoscopes made from rotating fractal flame images.

Give your eyes a bright and colorful reward while you relax and enjoy the ride as endless patterns and color combinations slowly rotate and evolve in a hypnotic, mesmerizing dance of light.

Credits

For the longest time I've wanted to make a kaleidoscope video to add to the mix of what's out there, but I just didn't know how to do it. My math and programming skills are pretty elementary, so what might have been an easy task for many smarter or more experienced people was a very challenging one for me.

Slowly but surely, I learned the necessary skills. One quantum leap in my progress occurred when through some Google searching I finally found a simple kaleidoscope example on Terence Tsang's Shine Draw instructional website. (That link used to be here but he has since taken it down.)

What had frustrated and confounded me for years took him an hour and a half to complete. After taking many programming classes at school, I was able to modify and expand his example code by adding several hundred lines of my own, until I had a working version suitable for video creation that I understood. That mostly involved finding lots of open source code for manipulating files and processing images.

About the Artwork

The beautiful fractals used in this video were based on original flame formula parameter sets created by other very talented artists and posted on the web as instructional examples. I am extremely grateful for their decision to share some of their parameters with the public and in these cases to permit commercial use by others.

Many of these parameters were from Blatte's Fractal Resources. Many others were shared on the now inactive Fractal Repository website. There is an unsupported mirror of this site archived here.

The hypnotic background music is written and performed by Bjorn Lynne. The soundtrack songs are "A Journey Within" and "Endless Oceans."

These are very large video files (22GB or 24GB), so to download these, you will probably only have success if you use a download manager, such as this one from Microsoft for PCs or this one for the Macintosh.

Physical Media
(DVDs and Blu-rays)

While I'm trying to steer people towards the Master quality digital downloads (see the button above), you can still order the DVD and Blu-ray versions of Splendor Versions 1.2 and 1.3.

Splendor Version 1.2 turns at 30 seconds per REVOLUTION (more stimulating). Splendor Version 1.3 turns at 60 seconds per REVOLUTION (the same as the second hand on a clock - relaxing). Those kaleidoscopes are available here via Amazon: KaleidoscopeStore.com. All versions are available with digital download access.

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions

Question:

HOW DO YOU PROVIDE FREE UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE, FREE UNIVERSAL EDUCATION, FREE UNIVERSAL WIRELESS INTERNET, FREE HOUSING, FREE MINIMUM INCOME, FREE ELECTRICITY, FREE ELECTRIC TRANSPORTATION, FREE CLEAN AND HEALTHY DRINKING WATER, WITHOUT TAXATION OR DEBT?

THE VERY REAL PHILANTHROPIC AND HUMANITARIAN POSSIBILITIES OF 100% VIRTUAL MACROECONOMICS

Question:

WHEN SCARCE THINGS ARE FREE, LIKE HOMES AND CLEAN WATER, HOW DOES SOCIETY PROMOTE CONSERVATION AND WASTE REDUCTION?

THIS IS HOW SOCIETY PROMOTES CONSERVATION AND WASTE REDUCTION

Basically you take over all world governments because you are replacing the whole funding mechanism for everybody everywhere on Earth. You have to send people home and let them become knowledge workers. You phase out all carbon fuels by creating a new worldwide funding mechanism that will provide electric transportation to the whole world public for free. You take over the banking system completely. You totally automate the banking system.

Using that totally automated all virtual banking system (money no object for real), you buy everyone their homes and land. All citizens everywhere on Earth are SAFE and SECURE. People will embrace VIRTUAL REALITY and their material needs will lessen. Products will be purchased based on quality only instead of cost, so lower quality products will become scarce. People won't need to work. Consumerism will be managed and restrained.

We can use electricity based shipping infrastructure to lower the carbon footprint of our food and goods.
