Shonzilla, a pattern-seeking animal

This is how I (fore)see the decade that has just begun.

No, it’s not about (Mandelbrot) fractals or Inception (or Matrix).
It’s about relaxed awesomeness!

NOTE: If you want to view this full-screen, you can do it here. If you want to enjoy the full-beauty in HD, then you should go to Vimeo and hit the full-screen.

That was cool, wasn’t it? 

If you’re wondering about the background of this video clip, here’s some info I managed to dig out:

Music: Astroblast by Musicians with Guns (Alexandre Lehmann’s side project; @zzzzra), from the “Using the Iaxian key” album which is to be released in 2011 Q1 on Entropy Records.
Animation: Ricardo Montalban (couldn’t find much about him apart that he seems to be tweeting @zzzzra; obviously he’s not the deceased Mexican actor)
Software: Adobe Photoshop CS5 (!) with Adobe Pixel Bender plugin and 3D Mandelbulb (background, download the ray tracer)

Watch and listen to this intro packing real-time rendered animation filled with fractals and music into (hold your pants) - 1kB! Yes, that’s 1024 bytes! That’s less memory that any computer you ever owned had inside.

This is just one of intros showcased this year at one of the most popular demoscene parties - Breakpoint organized in Germany.

Demo group that made this wonder is called TBC while the intro is called Untraceable

I’m amazed every time I see anything remotely advanced like this fitting in anything below 64kB… this is simply beyond my comprehension. Hm… I wonder if these guys ever get laid while trying to cram yet more fractals, fps and animation.
