I've been experimenting with a visual effect technique called Tx Transformation. It's implementation requires some customized scripting in shake and a little bit of mathematics. It's relatively new, unheard of and a little complicated to explain however let me give it a try.
An image is measured using X and Y coordinates. Imagine that a sequence of images (animation / video / etc ) extends out through on the Z axis (time) making a three dimensional cube made out of pixels. In Tx transformation the video is played along the X axis instead of the time (Z) axis. So one frame represents viewing a slice through all the frames. So when you play through you're seeing an overview of everything to happened throughout the animation at that period of time. It's really quite fun. I see this being the next big leap in visual effects technique in the next 10 to 20 years. This gives film makers a new dimension to work in take and space. Or just make awesome VFX. Here is my latest test:

Whilst fidling in shake I accidently discoved how to make the most beautiful fractal-like pattern. Its an pattern created by mixing the right algorithms. Watch the video!
