Join Stu and I on a wander along the amazingly beautiful coast of western Scotland at sunset.

You can move the camera around any time you like to choose your own view. Be sure to set the video quality as high as your system can handle too. I think this is my favorite one yet. Enjoy!

So, here’s a continuation of an experiment in its very early stages.

A new type of vlog thing where I take you along, in 360, as I wander the cityscapes and landscapes of the places I visit. These will likely evolve over time, they are experiments for now, so expect a few rough edges and a slower pace than the average YouTube travel vid. I hope you find them interesting… here is Glasgow Attempt #2… and remember you can spin the camera all around any time you want. All feedback appreciated!

This is just an attempt…

So, here’s another in a series of an experiment. A new type of vlog thing where I take you along, in 360, as I wander the cityscapes and landscapes of the places I visit. These will likely evolve over time, they are experiments for now, so expect a few rough edges and a slower pace than the average YouTube travel vid. And definitely some wind noise (sorry!) I hope you find them interesting… here is Glasgow Attempt #2… and remember you can spin the camera all around any time you want. Even during the hasty exit from the hotel bathroom!

Here’s that recent Machine Elf, now in glorious 8K/360! 🙂

Welcome to a very different Machine Elf creation (This time re-rendered in 360)! All my latest ones seem to be my favorite, but this one definitely gives a new perspective on the cinematic quality and storytelling of fractals. This creation was incredibly complex and took about a month for the visuals and another month for the music from Joshua Ryan. We’ve been collaborating on this one forever and now it is finally ready for release!

This creation explores how incredible complexity and the fabric of the universe could possibly be boiled down to a few combined fractal equations. I’ve always been fascinated by the fabric of the reality around us. Maybe it’s just math, or a higher order of mathematical formulas that collide with different sorts of energies. It’s really hard to say, eh? All these Machine Elf creations explore different facets from the same jewel of the reality that is being built around us all the time.

I was reflecting earlier about pre-pandemic life and as a little bit of fun I checked back to what I was up to on the blog on this day in 2019. Turns out it was a day I’d been playing with the 360 videos recorded while out and about with some interesting friends. You can view a bunch of those in this playlist:

We cover all sorts from death, to crypto, to saving key elements of society for the future to slime mold and there’s even a discussion with the voice actor who was the dolphins at the start of Cocoon! Enjoy!
