I put a canon LIDE, a $50 usb flatbed scanner, on the back of a 4x5. I learned to do this by following the web advise from Michael Golembewski, and John Van Horn. The captured scans were used as keyframes morphed between using Timewarp in After Effects CS3. The audio is in progress as was created using samples from www.freesound.org, samples included; 29940_junggle_scratch01.wav, 29941_junggle_scratch11.wav, 32184_junggle_scratch298_vinyl_noise_looped.wav, 32253_junggle_scratch344_looped.wav, 32254_junggle_scratch345_looped.wav, 58358_juskiddink_SK29_Beats_3.wav, 9538_lancelottjones_flash_beat.wav

About a year ago I saw a music video using this very cool effect. I've always wanted to play with it and was reminded to do so after watching adam deeves' video on time displacement ( vimeo.com/409951 ). Instead of using After Effects, I decided to see if it was possible to recreate the slit-scan video effect in Flash using my web cam. The video above is the end result and works even better than I hoped. I'm going to be putting this online soon so everyone who has a web cam can play with it.

This video shows the test of a software developed as a programming exercise. The image is digitally manipulated by fragmenting it into horizontal lines and then combining lines from different frames in the display. The result is a distorsion of the figures caused by their motion in time, or, as Brazilian researcher Arlindo Machado calls it: chronotopic anamorphosis. The effect was completely based on Zbigniew Rybczynski's "The Fourth Dimension", but transposed to Processing programming environment and performed in real-time. The software still has some memory issues, specially when the image rendering is combined with video recording, as it can be seen in this video. This experiment was made within the context of Marginalia Project. More information about it, as well as the source code of this software [soon], can be found at marginalia-project.blogspot.com.
