How I Came Up with My Talk?
summary
Explains how differential equations are used to create a perfectly smooth infinite zoom by matching positions and derivatives at loop points, deriving a camera trajectory from exponential and logarithmic functions instead of ad-hoc easing. Shows the concrete equation solved, the numerical coefficients, and a working JavaScript implementation using canvas/WebGL, and describes selling the resulting GIF for $200–$500 after it went viral.
