"Pencil is the most natural and expressive tool for getting ideas on Paper"

I thought this would be some kind of parody at first...

Have a look at 'Powers of Ten' by Ray & Charles Eames (1977) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fKBhvDjuy0

We worked with single steps of 1024x768 pixels size with a center part of 50% left out. An illustrator would either work inwards or outwards of the existing portion. Outwards that would give a photoshop document of 1024x768 with the previous step locked on a centered layer of 512x384. Inwards with the upscaled previous image of 2048x1536 as the frame, and the respective centered paintable area of 1024x768.

The illustrators then could easily blend their work into the other peoples artwork. The whole thing evolved very un-planned. There was no guideline as to what should be depicted. Illustrators just had to pick up what others have left for them. Best part of the process for me.

Original author here. Thanks for the mention!

The project was done in 2004, first implementation in shockwave, later flash. I redid the whole thing in js+canvas a few weeks ago, finally with a much smoother zooming algorithm than before.

Feel free to shoot me any questions you might have!

Nice guy and paintings. Still, I am fed up with the obtrusive "pitch" narrative of these kind of videos. If the resulting sentiment is mainly due to technical style, what does that say about your real values?

Probably requires a calibrated Apple display to be readable.
