The zoom rate is a bit higher on that one (same total zoom, but over a 60 second period instead of 90). I think this may accentuate the motion illusion effect.

Another "straight zoom" vid. I'd really like to work on the more elaborately scripted "fractal tour" stuff (and maybe even create some original music to accompany them), but don't see myself having time until mid-March. For now, this sort of thing will have to do, since the code's already written, and I can just set up a destination point and let it render overnight.
This one is a zoom into the "double spiral" (left) side of the valley between the main cardioid and the largest circular feature of the Mandelbrot set, at coordinates 7.534266571159055e-01, 5.181353020385396e-02i.
A nice illustration of "feature doubling" as we zoom in to a "mini-brot" at a magnification of 2e+12. Watch as the number of arms coming out of the vortex we're zooming into starts at 2 around the 0:57 mark, and repeatedly doubles at 1:12, 1:20, 1:26, and 1:28 (additional doublings, to 64 and 128 arms are also visible at the final magnification).
