This reminds me a bit of a project I am currently doing where I swap adjacent pixels in the last image of short video sequences until it resembles the first image:
That's quite an extraordinary effect. There's a point where enough pixels have been swapped that you can see the original, and it jumps out, and thereafter the image is quite surreal before eventually being 'tinted'.
(Also shows the video compression in the final frame well, because it doesn't match the first frame. Just found that interesting.)
This is really neat. The videos give me an instant headache. It's quite exciting to feel such a palpable and unusual effect from a video. Until now I wasn't aware that a video could give me a headache. I wonder what other physical sensations are possible from video? My compliment is genuine.
