Thanks Charlie, it works great on the xbox360/PS3 now! When you get Vegas Pro 8 you will be able to export at h.264/mp4 too, so that adds AppleTV compatibility too!

This trips me out. I refuse to believe the quarter was not bent.

Stupid optical illuisions.

Just amazing.

Charlie some how you were bending the laws time and space in this video. Awesome.

Speaking of inspiration I have tried the morning walk twice but both times I didn't have my wide angle so it was too close but I'll post mine when I do another one. I love those.

Friggin genius.

oO! The not bent bending coin is amazing!

So cool, I like it lots.

Cool experiment.

I just want to know where you find your music. It seems that without fail you always select the right music with your clips -- or do you film already having music in mind?

Wow. That distortion is bizarre. I'm guessing it's because each frame is being created line by line and the coin has moved as it has been scanned from top to bottom.

I'm trying the same thing at home (I had to see for myself) and I must say that it is really really cool.

My clip is not finish but I'm wondering ... how did you get rid of the interlace effect.

I should have known better to think you did a simple video of a quarter - WOW!

Awesome!

Nice! I added the tags "rolling shutter artefact" as this is the best example of it I have seen so far ;-)

hmmm... /me wonders if this also works with a euro

This is a perfect example of something I was reading this morning on a 'take one subject and make it interesting' theme. I think its something they teach in college for photography. I've never seen a simple coin look so interesting (or bendy!)

scary great,

do you have reasoning behind not using a tripod?

edit: 'crazy magic'

u just cant ran out of ideas. your creativity is always inspiring. one of my favorite vimeo guys! 5 stars for this one.

Are u sure it was flat? :-) Great job man, once again.

nice charlie

its called CMOS skew.... its a CMOS camera and does not capture the entire frame 24/30 times a sec. It scans the frame top to bottom really fast.... but not fast enough for fast moving objects like this coin.

You, sir, deserve to win a Weisscam high-speed camera two years after the fact. Something so ordinary captured this way really makes you stop and think.

I wonder what other interesting things like that I might be taking for granted every day? I know it sounds clichè but it's what I'm thinking. I'm going to spin a coin and blink really fast to see what happens. No, really.
