At this year's AIC some of you may have seen me sitting at the back of the room during the various workshops and presentations. "He's probably hoping to catch some zzz's" you may have thought, but I was paying attention.
Well, truth be told, there was one presentation where I started nodding off, but I was continually awakened by the audience chanting "BEFORE!" and "AFTER!" along with Dr. Tom "Say it with me now" Davis.
I was, however, awake and enthralled by the workshop of the PhotoShop guys, Aravind Krishnaswamy and Alan Erickson, who showed a technique for making three dimensional animations of astronomical images.
Until I can reconfigure my computer to better make these videos, I'd like to share a short (5 Mb) 'proof of concept' movie with you. I believe it is best viewed with FireFox or Explorer.
