About a year ago I saw a music video using this very cool effect. I've always wanted to play with it and was reminded to do so after watching adam deeves' video on time displacement ( vimeo.com/409951 ).

Instead of using After Effects, I decided to see if it was possible to recreate the slit-scan video effect in Flash using my web cam. The video above is the end result and works even better than I hoped.

I'm going to be putting this online soon so everyone who has a web cam can play with it.

Update: I posted it online caseypugh.com/slitscan

awesome scripting! works like a charm! is there an after effects expression or a specific effect for ae like this?
Casey Pugh 7 months ago

I haven't actually tried it in AE but I think the effect is called "time displacement".
dalas verdugo 7 months ago

The time displacement effect uses a gradient layer to effect (affect?) the timing of each pixel of video depending on the darkness of the corresponding pixel in the gradient layer. There's a tutorial here:

cowcast.creativecow.net/after_effects/index.html

Scroll to the bottom, "Displacement Mapping Part 3".

I'm gonna check it out once I have the time. hopefully I'll get a good result and post it on vimeo!

This is great. I use the effect on your site to see how many times I can roll my eyes before the effect takes place.

That is too cool

I'm in love with the effect on the arm.

Reminds me of horror films from the eighties where they used lates and air bladders: (ummm Alterred States, American Wearwolf in London, maybe Scanners?)
