Jello: Rolling Shutter effect from CMOS sensors

The 'Jello' effect from the rolling-shutter of CMOS sensors is a well known phenomenon, but clearly can have pleasing and interesting results.


From description by Steve Talkowski on vimeo:
"I wanted to shoot out the window on a recent flight and all I had available was my iPhone 3GS. The scanning order of the sensor combined with the refraction from the window caused this pretty cool phenomenon. I then discovered that rotating the camera would warp the blades in different directions.

Here's a still frame shot from another video (excellent image in my opinion)

That's frightening!

very special
thanks for showing

NEat article Steve. thanks for posting the link.

Now that was scary at first. Looked like the blades were flying off.

Thats crazy cooool, awsome effect that gives me some ideas. Thanks for sharing........

Did you see this distortion as you were shooting it or only after playing it back?
