My laptop doesn’t support 4K so I had to update the zoom movie player to allow saving frames larger than the display.I think it’s beautiful, and I also think that it is profound that all of this complexity comes from a formula as simple as Z = Z * Z + C. It is the zoom-movie perfection that I have imagined since I released my first fractal program in 1986. Standing a few feet in front of the 4K TV while this new movie plays makes me happy. So I decided to make a new version, at 4K resolution instead of just 720p, with improved colors and other tweaks. I recently got a 4K TV and I realized that my “HD” video looked blurry on it. My version of his movie was antialiased and 720p and seemed pretty impressive at the time.


Four years ago I created a HD fractal movie because I wanted to see how quickly Fractal eXtreme could calculate the same movie that Orson Wang had posted to youtube.
