All CD-ROMs, DVD-ROMs, DVDs are laser etched using LightScribe technology and LightScribe CD-R and DVD-R media. This process enables me to create professional greyscale labels.
I sell Self-Randomizing Windows-based HD Video Art on PC CD-ROM, PC DVD-ROM. I also sell Deep Zooming Fractal DVDs and Fractal Flames & Clouds online through Film Baby (DVDs and digital downloads).
PC CD-ROMs and PC DVD-ROMs can be used on virtually any Windows computer (Windows 95 - Vista/7). I make non-looping and looping versions of each title. Both versions feature self-randomizing playback. This means you will see a random arrangement of the same set of fractals per title. When a non-looping disc completes its playback it may keep the last fractal on screen until the title is exited or ejected. Or it may exit out to windows automatically. The looping variety essentially creates a perpetually self-randomizing disc that will run until it is stopped.
To stop a title simply press the ESCape key once, or the UP arrow key once, or the DOWN arrow key once. Pressing the LEFT or RIGHT arrow keys or mouse buttons will help to re-arrange the playback of each title. Likewise, the scroll wheel will also jumble an already randomized presentation. Use of the LEFT or RIGHT arrow keys or mouse buttons or use of the scroll wheel may cause a non-looping title to terminate prematurely. Another way to stop a disc is to eject it from the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive.
I make my recordings based on how often the fractals change. I call this their interval rate. Titles with a ten second interval rate have fractals that change once every ten seconds. The total playback of each title is determined by two things: their interval rate and the number of fractals it contains. Interval rates can be as short as 1 millisecond to as much as 30 seconds. Titles with an interval rate in the millisecond range will be the most demanding on your computer. With an interval rate of 1 to 30 seconds almost any Windows computer can be used for playback. Older computers are ideal for the slower titles. Newer computers should be reserved for the faster titles. To see what I mean please go to my Downloads page where you can try my test files at the bottom of the Downloads page.
My slowest test machine is a Pentium 200 MHz with Windows ME, 128 MBs RAM, 50x CD-ROM, external Zip 100 drive, video card at 1024 x 768 video resolution.
These are the types of PC CD-ROMs that I sell. The price of each non-looping disc is determined by the number of fractals it contains. Only looping PC CD-ROMs or PC DVD-ROMs qualify for brief label messages or inserts. Remember that the customer must choose the interval rate first before the recording can be made. Once they have chosen their interval rate it is a simple matter of choosing the number of fractals they want on their title. Pre-made titles have a ten second interval rate. For more details please see the Verbose version of this page.
PC HD DVD & Western Digital USB 3.0 Passport HDDs: Fractal Flames & Clouds
I currently have 16,800 fractal "Flames & Clouds" video loops. Each volume has 2400 .MOV VJ Loops. Each loop sells for $10.00 for video resolutions of 1920x1080 progressive or smaller. Video wall sized VJ loops will also be useful for people with super wide screens and Eyefinity displays. I have a mixture of ChromaDepth 3D and non-ChromaDepth 3D content per volume. All files that are compatible with ChromaDepth 3D glasses will be sorted into their own folder(s) and/or noted within a text file. Each fractal Flame & Cloud is unique. These are not "dumbed down" versions. I currently have the following video resolutions:
320x240 = GigaBytes (in the works)
640x480 = GigaBytes (in the works)
800x600 = GigaBytes (in the works)
1024x768 = 106.2 GigaBytes
1280x720 = 107 GigaBytes
1280x1024 = GigaBytes (in the works)
1366x768 = 147 GigaBytes
1920x480 = 187 GigaBytes (in the works) (Design Elements / Lower Thirds in Broadcast quality)
1920x480 = 104.8 GigaBytes
1920x1080 = 262 GigaBytes
2400x600 = GigaBytes (in the works)
So, how do you buy these various fractals? I'm working on making small sample files for the downloads page. This will let you try before you buy. How I mail the files to my customers will depend on the number of files they wish to buy. For instance if all you want are a handful then a data DVD will likely be used. If you want hundreds or even thousands of files then a Western Digital USB 3.0 Passport HDD will be a better choice. HDDs like this will be shipped in their original packaging and may also include some type of shock/water resistant case for the drive. Once the previews are uploaded for each volume customers will be able to pick just the files they want. Then with an email they can tell me which ones they are paying for. Once their check clears my bank I will make the physical recording and send it to their address. The cost of the DVD or HDD will be covered by the total cost of the files chosen. If the customer chooses thousands of dollars worth of content then the cost of the HDD and shipping would naturally be rolled into their total purchase price. More details later once I am ready for this transition.
These animations are ideal for clubs, DJs, VJs, private parties, video displays for art galleries, video displays for domes, for use with circular or tubular or conical or HoloCube type video displays. You may wish to use these to provide background lighting or accent lighting for glass block walls and glass block partitions, stained glass installations, as accent lighting for a garden, patio, awning, reflective ponds/pools, or for underwater lighting via the use of Pico projectors. Some Pico projectors have their own built-in media players that can access expandable storage such as SD memory cards. Couple those with an Wi-Fi enabled SD card and you can remotely update the contents of your mini projector periodically.
Such an application of my fractal flames and video projector would be mighty cool used for underwater pool lights or as video sconces which can be embedded in walls, ceilings, or other locations. These flames are also ideal for use by your VJ control software and/or hardware which can allow you to seamlessly loop, fade, and blend any file you like to create the ambiance desired for a particular event or mood. When your customers are weary of seeing the same flames or other assorted fractal videos simply buy new ones from my Pond5 portfolio for an easy install. Add ChromaDepth 3D glasses to draw out more customers to your location and/or event. Have fun using my fractals in whatever manner your imagination can conceive!
