Earlier quoted context omitted.

Would also be interesting to see if they could recreate the effect of the original video in JS also.

Isn't the algorithm just, filter out the greenscreen, for each remaining pixel draw it to the buffer, draw the buffer to the screen? That doesn't seem more complicated than the examples they showed.

No one said it would be MORE complicated than the examples.

"Would also be interesting" and "fun to compare" give no implication of relative difficulty. I would like to see the algorithm though so please post the code if you get it working in JS! That would be awesome!

This is the sort of thing we're working on at Vidpresso. If this impresses you, and you want to build stuff like this... we should be friends. Contact info is in my profile.

We're already friends. Hi Randall!

Wow, I've never seen all 4 cores in my machine simultaneously spin up to 90% before. Nice trick.

Hm, that is strange. It does not even tax my CPU enough to kick it out of its lowest speed state, let alone tax any of the cores.

That's interesting. What kind of CPU?

Intel announced a year or so ago they could JIT compile javascript and run it on their GPU. Maybe that's why?! If so, welcome to the bold new age of GPGPU and AMD's HSA... :)

It failed here, but without an error message. I can only see the first frame.

Hi, I'm the person responsible for/guilty of this. Thanks for the comments, everyone. My sympathies for the BSOD. Please keep the bug reports and questions coming. I'll try to fix/answer what I can.

This is awesome! I can't wait to see the mashups that spring forth from this (and hopefully make one or two myself). There will definitely be something really creative soon. Thanks for doing so much legwork on this.

Same here. Could it be because I am running Linux?

I got it working in Linux on Firefox. Chrome didn't work, though.

Yeah, same here, running Ubuntu on a Dell Precision laptop. Guess WebGL doesn't like my setup.
