I added a reduced preview of this to my blog post. I really like how it gives an impression of finding Waldo in a haystack of noise, just like in the picture books.

The preview is not as pretty as the real thing, but I thought embedding a 27MB video in the page might be a bit much.

Yeah I did my best to compress it but it's so noisy that there's very little compression that can be done without turning it into a blur. I can give you the original lossless PNG frames if you want them, but honestly I don't know that they'd be that useful.

Here's one lossless frame from near the end of the video, it's kinda nice because it gives you a little bit of context for the final Waldo without being overwhelming. https://i.imgur.com/wNZICnP.png

Here's also the full image as a 21.2 MiB PNG: https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmUJaeon4KjE2RGVirXTG5xQuA6pCWV5T9GW2KS...

The full image contains the first 99969546 digits of pi, including the opening 3.
