Real-time video slitscan, in Flex, using bitmap animation.

Slitscanning has been an interest since I read about TxTransform in "Future Cinema" some years back. This particular slitscan algorithm comes from Golan Levin and Ben Fry, who implemented it in Java.

It reads pixel values live from a video stream, in the exact center of the playback image. Then it wipes them on the viewing canvas from right to left.

Two of the videos included here are from the Thelma project, which is my initial experiment in automated video assembly (these are by hand). The clips relate stories from Hurricanes Rita and Katrina.
