2006-10-16 13:58:10
 
it is a good sound loop, it's just really unfortunate that the little click always has to show up when it resets. overall a very neat effect. frustrating as well.

Hehe, thanks for the comments. Great to have a good feedback on my first work. I just figured out that the backgraund is a radar in japan
2006-10-16 15:38:35
 
If you don't want this stolen, watermark it in some way. Great work.

You'll never make it to the moon at that speed
2006-10-16 18:18:56
 
@PCF: I watermarked it (right bottom of the explosion, hard to see, but definitifly a proof) @Rellikmit: whats the point? (ups, did I feed a troll?)
2006-10-16 18:26:54
 
Nice to see that Rellikmit is contributing a lot to ytmnd with all those wonderful sites he makes.
2006-10-16 18:29:48

2006-10-16 19:17:55

2006-10-16 19:54:05
 
GO GO GO!!!!
2006-10-16 19:58:20
 
A very nice debut. I've seen this illusion a million times, but the sound clinched it.
2006-10-16 20:00:09
 
Holy sh*t.
2006-10-16 20:00:20
 
alllmmoossttt.....

2006-10-16 20:01:54
 
lol ns shot
2006-10-16 20:05:09
 
It's like an event horizon effect, nice one.
2006-10-16 20:27:15
 
AAAH! stop that .. 5
2006-10-16 20:32:05
 
i'm sorry but no matter how hard i try i can't shake the feeling
2006-10-16 20:37:39
 
1ed.
2006-10-16 20:44:57
 
That has to be frustrating to be the pilot.
2006-10-16 21:16:38
 
I've seen tons of images like this, but I don't think I've ever heard a sound illusion. At least one that feels like its always going up. Amazing.
2006-10-16 21:28:33
 
It's only funny until it happens to you!
2006-10-16 21:29:22
 
it's only funny until it happens to you!

These pretzels are making me thirsty!
2006-10-16 22:07:47
 
Insufficient.
2006-10-16 22:16:39
 
Can someone explain the sound illusion? I get it a bit but, how's it working to confuse my ears?
2006-10-16 22:18:37
 
Oh also, for the ultimate eyef*ck, click and drag your mouse on the picture... it'll pause it but... it'll still look likes its moving
2006-10-16 22:21:17
 
My head asplode
2006-10-16 22:31:23
 
It...it never takes off? I stared at this for 3 hours and IT NEVER TAKES OFF?!?
2006-10-16 22:35:29
 
5'd for getting me to watch it for a full two minutes. FÜCK humans are dumb!
2006-10-16 22:41:28

2006-10-16 22:51:28
 
nice mindf*ck
2006-10-16 22:52:15
 
Heh, we had to synthesize this in my DSP class. It's too easy to tell when it restarts!
2006-10-16 22:56:52
 
One of the best optical illusions ever.
2006-10-16 23:02:46
 
its... beutiful
2006-10-16 23:12:30
 
Try harder, Mr. Rocket! You'll make it!!!
2006-10-16 23:55:36
 
This is amazing. Both the image and sound are perfect.
2006-10-17 00:09:13
 
It is green.
2006-10-17 00:13:03
 
You can do it! coem on! Keep it up! Come on...just a bit more....

2006-10-17 03:05:15
 
OMG I think it just killed me.
2006-10-17 03:18:54
 
Isn't there an 80s / 90s song that uses a reverse shepard scale sounding just like this one?
2006-10-17 03:28:12
 
dude the sound never stops even when it starts over, how you do that
2006-10-17 03:37:15
 
Shepard Tone ftw
2006-10-17 03:57:05
 
Illusion FTW!
2006-10-17 04:38:41
 
2006-10-17 05:10:00
 
How it worx: The Shepard tone: There are several tones that are pitching up und fading out when they become higher. At the same time very low tones are fading in. Easy, eh? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/0c/Shepard_tone.jpg Four-Stroke Apparent Motion: There are 4 pictures of the Rocket. From pic 1 to 2 the rockets (the background) moves forward. From pic 2 to 3 the rocket moves backward, but since the contrast is reversed there are no pixels that look like jumping back. and so on...
2006-10-17 05:12:23
 
@shoover: I faved myself coz I tested the feature (I'm new to ytmnd) and now the fav stars don't go away (deleted it from my favs). It's neat I know
2006-10-17 05:18:09
 
2006-10-17 05:41:49
 
thats cool.
2006-10-17 05:56:08
 
@demondyne: I was intrested in that. Should by dissonant.
2006-10-17 06:15:45
 
thx for teh headache
2006-10-17 06:28:12
 
Very nice work, very subtle.
2006-10-17 06:53:55
 
That rocket was designed entirely by committee.
2006-10-17 09:20:18
 
People should be able to favorite their own YTMND's.
2006-10-17 10:48:48
 
5'd because of nice visual effect making me feel like i was lifting off, - 1 for no hentai tenticles :(
2006-10-17 11:00:20
 
3 for faving yourself
2006-10-17 12:49:16
 
Gosh it pissed me off that there was a short stop between the loops! Ruined the effect.
2006-10-17 13:57:10
 
Dudes, I faved my as a test and I'm not even in my favs anymore and the sound is perfekt, but waveloops sux to much to get it smoth.
2006-10-17 13:59:44
 
Lolz, I just figured out it was still in my favs, perhaps I tried to delete it during the horrible lag yesterday.
2006-10-17 14:05:39
 
yeah. it'll never get there... because there IS NO MOON!
2006-10-17 14:07:38
 
lol
2006-10-17 14:32:56

2006-10-17 18:57:26
 
Clever use of the Shepard tone (heard it in brain theory class but didn't know the name) paired with the optical illusion. Awesome.
2006-10-17 19:18:08
 
Quite so Mr. Watson, quite so
