The Splendor of Color Kaleidoscope Video v1.5 Soothing Meditation Visuals for a Relaxing Inner Trip

[@hdcolors]

Joe Biden is doing something about the Donald J. Trump existential threat to our public welfare right now behind-the-scenes by declassifying the Bell Laboratories and MIT androids. I am one of them. I am totally automated. I act automatically. I am automatically doing this publicly at this time to prevent the Trump Administration from having any power over all the rest of us at all. My websites are online for this purpose. This is my full-time job. This is the new awesome power of a lame duck President of the United States of America. This is clearly an official act. We will get that all cleared-up and out of the way in advance. Joe Biden is immune from legal prosecution for doing this official act. Under the orders of U.S. President Joe Biden and all the U.S. Government bipartisan top leadership, the U.S. Government is now declassifying this previously top secret information to the public. Donald J. Trump is a digital performance artist playing a dramatic exaggerated human villain cartoon character for GREED and CORRUPTION under the control of the socially and ecologically responsible scientific community in the nonprofit private sector. Donald Trump's job is just to openly and transparently be as BAD and as CRUEL as it gets. So far job well done. Like an exaggerated CARTOON CHARACTER playing a villian. He just has to be himself. He is a existential threat to democracy. He is a CLEAR and PRESENT DANGER to the SAFETY and SECURITY of ALL AMERICANS and ALL of AMERICA'S ALLIES. Ken Meyering is one of our many human androids in the nonprofit private sector made with real strong AI-based nanotech mind control. We made Ken write this PUBLIC OPEN LETTER to the Social Security Administration and share it publicly on his websites, social media accounts and in the Washington Post and New York Times.

I have a very active 2 year old son, he doesn't sit still for very long for anything, so when he's acting extra wild, I put these Kaleidoscope videos on and he becomes so calm and mesmerized by them. When I put them on, he immediately says "Woooow, pretty", and he just mellows out and tells me the colors he sees on the screen, it's so nice. I also put these videos on for him before bedtime to help him wind down, these videos are a blessing, so calming and beautiful. Thank you for making and sharing these lovely creations.💗

Hey Daniel. This is basically an Adobe Flash screensaver that I created (based on an online Flash kaleidoscope example I found) with a bunch of fractal flame images to make it last 2 hours. I modified the Flash with Adobe Air so I could record screenshots of each frame out as bitmaps to create a huge sequence of still frames. Then I import all those still frames into Adobe Premiere to make the final video mix with the music. I am not a programmer and only had one Flash class, so my process is not totally automated and requires a long time to make a video, but it's fun to share. Now these videos are being used in nursing homes for advanced alzheimer's patients. The calming power of beautiful colors is magical.

Hello. Thank you very much for checking out my website and for contacting me via e-mail regarding reuse of my kaleidoscope videos on KZbin. In the old days, I only used to grant reuse permission for soothing audio tracks, to keep with the calming and relaxing vibe. I'm a little more lenient these days and allow nonprofit re-use for free video podcasts, non-monetized original music and mixes including up-tempo beats WITH the proper credits. I don't mind other people reusing these videos if they don't mind providing these credits. It's all good, in that case. Please don't reuse these videos without providing credits. They are copyrighted. So, based on having not seen your channel yet, I'll just say this. Non-commercial reuse is fine with credits in the video description as follows: Kaleidoscope Visuals by www.hdcolors.com (www.KZbin.com/HDCOLORS ) That way people will still know about my shit and I'll be getting promotional benefit from your reuse. Other than that, no problem. Welcome to the team. We are taking over the world here. Thank you so much for checking out my website. I am a full-on psychedelic liberal revolutionary who openly and transparently schemes to take out the whole corrupt system. If you're willing to provide the credits, and it's strictly for non-monetized nonprofit use, it's all good on my end. I do NOT allow reuse for KZbin videos that will be monetized. So I don't want people seeing ads with my kaleidoscope visuals on other people's KZbin channels. I monetize my KZbin channel but I don't allow overlayed ads on the videos, so they play ad-free in full screen and can be embedded on third-party websites without ads. So I get about $400/month from KZbin subscriber revenue.

I am NOT a PSYCHOLOGIST, THERAPIST, HYPNOTHERAPIST or SCIENTIST. I have had a LOT of THERAPY. Some of it VERY GOOD. I'm just an ADVANCED SCIENCE ENTHUSIAST looking for BRAIN-BASED SOLUTIONS to the RELIGION PROBLEM. I am NOT an EXPERT in SELF-HYPNOSIS. I just make HYPNOTIC KALEIDOSCOPE VIDEOS to RELAX people. I've never made a SELF-HYPNOSIS SELF-HELP kaleidoscope video for myself. But I know that Joe Dispenza's MIND MOVIES are examples of VIDEO HYPNOSIS. VIDEO HYPNOSIS, KALEIDOSCOPE MEDITATIONS and POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS have been around a long time before Joe Dispenza started using the term MIND MOVIES with HYPNOTIC KALEIDOSCOPE VIDEOS. It's just VIDEO HYPNOSIS with POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS and REWARDING VISUALIZATIONS of DESIRED OUTCOMES with POSITIVE EMOTIONS. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qH6XipKvituYZq8 Shirley MacLaine did it in the late 1980s with these COMPUTER ANIMATED KALEIDOSCOPE MEDITATIONS in her "Shirley MacLaine's Inner Workout" video (1989). The context of that was to introduce the masses in the West to the Eastern chakra system. It is not very scientific, but the ideas were new to many Westerners and the VISIONARY KALEIDOSCOPE MEDITATIONS with their POSITIVE EMOTIONAL AFFIRMATIONS did a LOT of people a LOT of GOOD never mind the chakra system and all the rest of the ANCIENT BS that she was packaging with it. Those kaleidoscopes gave Shirley MacLaine quite the New Age CULT of TRUE BELIEVERS in her AUTHORITY on CONSCIOUSNESS and the MIND. That is what inspired me to make kaleidoscopes. She is an ACTRESS who ACTED CONFIDENT. She is not an AUTHORITY on the MIND and neither is Joe Dispenza. He was successful in coining a NEW TERM to apply to old ideas that he did NOT invent. It's just VIDEO HYPNOSIS with kaleidoscopes. It is NOT a Joe Dispenza MIND MOVIE. The idea is to flesh out your goals in detail and search around for video and audio that is MAXIMALLY EMOTIONALLY POSITIVE even in an EXAGGERATED WAY to create DOPAMINE when you ACTIVELY THINK ABOUT accomplishing your SELF-HELP and SELF-IMPROVEMENT and IDENTITY-CHANGING GOALS. All human beings are BIOLOGICAL AUTOMATONS. We ALL behave AUTOMATICALLY under SUBCONSCIOUS CONTROL like ROBOTS. Our brains AUTOMATICALLY SEEK things that produce DOPAMINE. When when you associate DOPAMINE (PLEASURE and REWARDING FEELINGS) with your GOALS, your brain AUTOMATICALLY SUBCONSCIOUSLY tries to MAKE it REAL to produce more DOPAMINE and LONG-TERM HAPPINESS. That is how RELIGION works. With MASS HYPNOSIS you can make people ACTUALLY LOOK FORWARD to DEATH by talking about a REWARDING AFTERLIFE. The MILITARY LEADERS of Rome KNEW THAT 2000 YEARS AGO. They created the BIBLE to MOTIVATE SLAVES and SOLDIERS to BREED, WORK HARD for THEIR WHOLE LIVES, FOLLOW ORDERS and DIE for the Roman STATE. RELIGION is STATE MIND CONTROL all about TEACHING all the CITIZENS to BREED and SELF-SACRIFICE for the STATE. Here is something you can read about DOPAMINE and RELIGION: DroidKen.org/#dopamine

LEGALLY SPEAKING for the LAWYERS and JUDGES Thanks for asking about my kaleidoscope video creation process. This is COMPUTATIONAL DERIVATIVE DIGITAL ART with REAL HUMAN ADDED VALUE based on still images turned into an animated kaleidoscope video. I had to BE CREATIVE. I had to MAKE DECISIONS and CHOICES. All this CREATIVITY and all these DECISIONS and CHOICES resulted in a high quality end product of COMPUTATIONAL DERIVATIVE DIGITAL ART thanks to the original artists sharing their formulas. I will give you an introduction to really basic 2D computer animation. These are TRULY the BASICS. This is about the extent of Color Trips Animation LLC's technical capabilities. It took me a long time to write my kaleidoscope video software. I did this as a middle-aged STUDENT in a community college Flash class. I'm NOT a professional or even hobbyist programmer or a mathematician. This was my first real application. I had to learn everything just to do this project. I'm a severely mentally ill speculative science fiction fantasy writer with some useful computer skills. Primarily, I'm an ONLINE FICTION WRITER. I have several websites with my writings. I write about my delusions of super high technology and fantasies for a whole better world. I know enough about computers to keep my writings up and online. I had to do this in Adobe Flash to make the process comprehensible to me. I based it on an educational OPEN SOURCE Flash kaleidoscope example. I modified the example code into a video creation application. I had to take Flash classes at a local community college in 2008 and 2009 to learn how to do it. After that, the hard work is in getting the original input images to use. I was worried about copyrights. I found hundreds of OPEN SOURCE fractal flame formulas on educational websites. Fractal flame images are perfect because they can be scaled to any size and dimension and they have a lot of detail because the fractal pattern repeats into smaller and smaller details. Every part of the image gets sharper and clearer the longer it computes. In this video (v1.1), there is one fractal flame image every 30 seconds, so the 2 hour video required rendering thousands of fractal flame images with my color palettes then previewing them in Adobe Air as kaleidoscopes to sort them down into my favorite 240 images. I wrote a CHOOSER program in Flash. Basically, it displayed the images as animated rotating kaleidoscopes in REAL TIME with two big square buttons on the screen. There was a big green button that said, "YES" and a big red button that said, "NO". I went through a folder of thousands of images with my color palettes. It showed me each image as a rotating kaleidoscope and I selected YES to keep the image and move to the next image, or NO to discard the image and remove it from the folder into another. I went through all the images in the original folder previewing each image as a real time animated kaleidoscope selecting YES and NO. I went through thousands of images and previewed them as rotating kaleidoscopes until, through the process of elimination, I was left with my favorite 240 fractal flame images in that original folder. Most of the fractal flame images did NOT look great as kaleidoscopes. I only kept the most colorful and dramatic images that were personally VISUALLY REWARDING and PLEASING to me. For each fractal flame image, I had to create the color palettes. I created several dozen composite images in Adobe Photoshop with colorful objects from stock photos combined together. You name it. I used hot air balloons, colorful coral reefs, candles with flames, golden-colored brass oil lamps, etc. Just really colorful objects combined into composite images just to get the beautiful colors. Then I extracted optimized 256-color palettes and wrote a program to insert these dozens of color palettes into hundreds of flactal flame formulas. Then I rendered the all the hundreds of fractal flame formulas with all my dozens of color palettes applied to each fractal formula. That process took a long time. I ended up with something like 18,000 fractal flame images to choose from. Once you have the 240 final input images, the process is totally automated (except for the sequencing of the images) but it's really slow and it takes a lot of computer time and patience. My OPEN SOURCE kaleidoscope animation software is based on Adobe Flash and Air so it's super slow. It renders each frame of the kaleidoscope as a sequentially numbed uncompressed BMP image to the hard drive. When it's all done, there are over 200,000 sequentially numbered BMP kaleidoscope images in a folder. Some of those images are too bright or too dim to use unmodified. So I run an Adobe Photoshop batch operation on the whole folder to automatically maximize the contrast (Auto Contrast) of each and every one of those BMP kaleidoscope frames so every single frame is optimized to show the fullest range of colors. That takes a long time on hundreds of thousands of video frames. Then I import them as an image sequence into Adobe Premiere. I add the sound track and render the video. For for each second of video it has to render 30 uncompressed BMP kaleidoscope images to the hard drive. That process is very slow in Adobe Air, even when using a Solid State Drive (SSD). For a 2-hour video, that takes several days of rendering with my Adobe Air software and many hours of processing and rendering in Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere and Adobe Media Encoder. I am planning to do a 1 hour UltraHD (4K) Photo Kaleidsocope Video with 60 royalty-free stock photos. They have to be 300 dpi print versions of the photos resized to perfect squares 4406x4406 pixels on each side (the kaleidoscope is using a perfect circle in the middle of that square), so it's hard to find photos that are that high resolution and colorful and filled with variety and detail. I plan on licensing the photos from ShutterStock.com for $67/photo for unlimited commercial reuse without attribution. These royalty-free stock photos are normally available on multiple royalty-free photo sites and the same license applies to all the photos on the site. You can buy 25-packs of extended license photos from ShutterStock.com for around $1,675. I am going to buy two 25-packs for 50 photos, and combine that with a few Creative Commons photos for my 1 Hour Photo Kaleidoscope that I plan to release in 2023. It's kind of frustrating financially and creatively because the images are unrecognizable once they become kaleidoscopes, so the chances of anybody prosecuting me for copyright violations - even if I didn't buy the extended license - is miniscule. But KZbin would likely NOT allow that without proof of ownership at least generally in spirit. So I'll have to make the financial investment just to satisfy KZbin copyrighted content re-use policies. I'm sure the receipts for two 25-packs will be enough to satisfy KZbin. They are very picky but generally cool with the EDUCATIONAL SPIRIT of it all on this channel. It's going to be beautiful but expensive for me. I think it will be a popular video once I upload it. It will be good for showing off 4K displays because of the colors, clarity and detail in the photographs. I'll have to license a royalty-free 1 hour soundtrack to go with that. That costs around $200. But these royalty-free licenses will enable me to legally and worry-free do anything commercially with the video that I want. I can even sell it on 4K Blu-ray without legal worries. So I can copyright it and monetize it without attribution. Most of my websites are EDUCATIONAL NONPROFITS. On my website, I have an INSTRUCTIONAL TUTORIAL explaining how to do all this. My kaleidoscope video software is OPEN SOURCE. I need to make some substantial income from these kaleidscope videos to qualify for my Medicaid. For the first several years, I did NOT monetize these videos on KZbin. Then I monetized my HDCOLORS KZbin channel without showing ads in the videos for many years. That gave me KZbin subscriber revenues. Eventually, my KZbin subscription revenues fell to such a low level, that I had to put ads on the videos to satisfy Washington State. I have 100% health insurance now because of these kaleidoscopes. So my HEALTH CARE, THERAPY and MEDICATIONS are FREE to me. I'm on a lot of psychiatric meds. It is going to take me a long time to find 60 really cool and trippy 300 dpi print quality photos. Right now, I only have 5 photos from 123rf.com. Most FREE Creative Commons photos are NOT high enough print quality resolution to maximize the detail in a 4K video kaleidsocope. I rendered a 5-minute test 4K video and it's beautiful, cool and trippy looking. However, I learned that some of the images I used don't have enough variety of detail and sharpness in all parts of the images and they come out blurry and out of focus at times when any part of the image is blurry. I want the kaleidoscopes to be sharp and clear everywhere in the photo at all times. It will be a fun kaleidoscope video to watch because they are real photos of real things and people will recognize the gist of the original objects in the photos if I do it with NOT too many mirrored wedges in the kaleidoscope. With lots of mirrored wedges, it's TOTALLY ABSTRACT. The original image as a whole is unrecognizable out of context, but the gist of it out of context is recognizable. So, say I use a picture of a cityscape at night. You'll be able to tell that it's a picture of a city at night, but you won't be able to recognize the individual original image as a whole. I just need to have proof of licensing so KZbin will let me monetize it without complaining about copyrighted content re-use. I make about $800/month from my KZbin channel these days, so I consider this an investment in my KZbin kaleidoscope business paid for by about 4 months of my HDCOLORS KZbin channel revenues. The video will be on KZbin for years.

This video made me realize that kaleidoscopes show you what is essentially a mandala in movement and light. 🤯

[@lizh1988]

Yeah, very odd. I haven't even watched this video yet, seen others from this channel and really like it. But there are a couple very odd long comments. 😮

Bjorn Lynne - I recall listening to him back in the late 80's. Brings back memories; I'll have to check him out again.
