[HD Upscale] Outside In - How to turn a sphere inside out LastGinger 2020-10-12 | This Video has been increased to 1440p from the 480p DVD release using AI upscaling, making this the highest resolution currently available. Subtitles generously provided by DoctorDothraki.-----Press "SHOW MORE" to view uploader notes, description, further resources, and credits----- Doctor Dothraki: (youtube.com/channel/UCeFBqA9YeRygEnHkqvbzApA)-----UPLOADER NOTES-----This is the full version! My previous upload cut off some of the credits. I was having troubles with the audio when I tried using Premiere to combine the videos manually. Thankfully, FFmpeg did a fantastic job of connecting the VOB files without any audio loss. Enjoy!I'm always looking for more info on this. If you have any more resources to look into, a physical copy of the video, or know someone involved in making it, please let me know in the comments![IMPORTANT] I have not monetized this video and never will. Any ads you see are a result of youtube changing their terms of service to allow for ads to play on any video regardless of their participation in the YouTube Partnership program.Update [09/12/2021]: Broken links have been fixed, with a few new ones added. New videos in the works!----DESCRIPTION----The computer animation Outside In explains the amazing discovery, made by Steve Smale in 1957, that a sphere can be turned inside out by means of smooth motions and self-intersections. Through a combination of dialogue and exposition accessible to anyone who has some interest in mathematics, Outside In builds up to the grand finale: Bill Thurston's "corrugations'' method of turning the sphere inside out. Along the way, the narrators discuss the related case of closed curves and why they generally cannot be turned inside out. Everyday analogies such as train tracks, belts, smiles and frowns are used throughout, all richly animated and complete with sound effects.Fun Fact: The narrators are named Xanthippe and Yorick, aptly abbreviated in the script as X and Y.----FURTHER RESOURCES----Making Waves: A Guide to the Ideas behind Outside In (Rent for free using Archive.org)(archive.org/details/makingwavesaguid0000levy)Where do the Rules of the Game Come From? - The Geometry Center(http://www.geom.uiuc.edu/docs/outreach/oi/waves/rules.html)A Pinch of Topology - The Geometry Center(http://www.geom.uiuc.edu/docs/outreach/oi/waves/pinch.html)A brief history of sphere eversions(http://www.geom.uiuc.edu/docs/outreach/oi/history.html)Topology Riddles | Infinite Series (A great start to learning more about topology!)(youtube.com/watch?v=H8qwqGjOlSE&t=5s) "Who cares about topology?

[HD Upscale @ 60 FPS] Outside In - How to Turn a Sphere Inside Out LastGinger 2021-09-25 | I originally held off on releasing this one, because I believed YouTube’s compression lowered the quality of the video. However, I believe now it’s worth making public. Enjoy!This video has been upscaled from 480p to 1440p and interpolated from 30FPS to 60FPS using AI. -----NOTES-----I am incredibly happy with how this turned out! Using interpolation software I was able to take my original upscale and double the frames per second from 29.97 to 59.94. There are a total of 77,202 frames, with the final uncompressed video file weighing in at 85.5 GB! In addition I've done my best to improve the quality while keeping it at 1440p. The result should be less artifacts and smoother color gradients than the original, and interestingly enough it left a sort of film grain on top.It's important to note that interpolation isn't always appropriate, as it may detract from the artist's original intentions. As such, interpolated videos shouldn't be a replacement for the original. With all this being said, I do feel as though Outside In caters incredibly well to interpolation.Finally, I'd like to mention that I have not monetized this video and never will.

[HD Upscale] Portal 2 - Cara Mia Addio with lyrics/translation LastGinger 2020-11-25 | Turn on CC for lyrics! Upscaled to 1440p from the 720p original using AI upscaling-----Press "SHOW MORE" to view uploader notes, description, lyrics/translation, and further resources----- -----UPLOADER NOTES-----This is one of my favorite songs in a video game, so I'm really happy to share an upscale of it! I'm pretty new when it comes to video encoding, so if you notice any issues or have suggestions on what I could do to improve the quality, please let me know!----DESCRIPTION----"Cara Mia Addio!" also known as the "Turret Opera" is written by Mike Morasky and sung by Ellen Mclain. This song is included in Volume 3 of the portal soundtrack "Songs To Test By" and is available free online (See Further Resources below).-----TRANSLATION----In an interview on reddit, Ellen McLain, the voice actor for GlaDOS and the turrets, gave this explanation for the lyrics:"The composer, Mike Morasky was the driving force behind the Turret Opera. He wrote all the music. He requested that I use my legit voice (operatic sound) on some of the takes. He chose the takes to use. He asked me to make up some words. So I did so in my bad Italian."The exact translation is not given, but there are many versions online. Below I've included the lyrics and notes given on the Combine Overwiki Italian Cara bel, cara mia bella! Mia bambina, oh ciel (Chell)! Ché la stima![note 1] Ché la stima! O cara mia, addio! La mia bambina cara... perché non passi lontana? Sì, lontana da Scienza! Cara, cara mia bambina... Ah, mia bella! Ah, mia cara! Ah, mia cara! Ah, mia bambina! Oh cara, cara mia...English Beautiful dear, my darling beauty! My baby, oh heaven![note 2] That she esteems![note 3] That she esteems! Oh my dear, farewell! My dear child... Why don't you walk far away? Yes, far away from Science! My dear, dear baby... Ah, my beauty! Ah, my dear! Ah, my dear! Ah, my little girl! Oh my dearest one!NOTE 1The Spanish phrase "Qué lastima" ("What a shame/pity") sounds similar and is widely misreported on the Internet as the actual lyrics.NOTE 2"ciel" ("sky" or "heaven" in lyrical Italian) is a pun on Chell's name, as it sounds roughly the same.NOTE 3"She" is referring to GLaDOS.-----FURTHER RESOURCES----"Songs To Test By" - Cara Mia Addio and full soundtrack download(thinkwithportals.com/music.php)Reddit interview with Ellen Mclain(reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/iur9l/glados_responds_to_rgamings_questions)Combine Overwiki page(combineoverwiki.net/wiki/Turret_Opera)Further discussion on the lyrics(combineoverwiki.net/wiki/Talk:Turret_Opera)(reddit.com/r/Portal/comments/1am4y5/cara_mia_addio_italian_speakers_around_here)
Downscaling - Using ASCII art in Command Prompt to play Outside In LastGinger 2020-10-25 | A brief segment of Outside In turned into ASCII art and played on Command Prompt via a batch file. See below for more detailsWatch the full HD Upscaled version of Outside In(youtu.be/OI-To1eUtuU)---DESCRIPTION ---Using what little knowledge I had on command line codes, I did my best to generate an animation for Command Prompt. It was a lot less automated then I would have wanted, but I'm happy with the results. The batch file is pretty simple, basically printing over each frame with a new one after a slight delay.I attempted to use a command line interface program to automate ASCII art generation, but I wasn't able to figure out how to do it. The only ASCII art generator I could fine that used CLI required python, and I had trouble running the module (pypi.org/project/ascii-art-cli/).The ultimate goal is to automate the whole process, making longer videos much easier. I was originally hoping to run a similar program on a 1986 Macintosh Plus, but first I'll need to get past the boot screen. This video has acted as a fun proof of concept while I figure out the boot disk.I don't have much experience with creating jobs and developing workflows. Let me know if you have any advise or programs to look into! --- CREDITS ---Ascii Art Generated using Online ASCII Art Creator(ascii-art-generator.org)Original code made by I Got a Cup Productions on Instructables (instructables.com/How-To-Make-Batch-File-Animations)Music made by me, taken from a previous project.
[HD Upscale] Not Knot - A guide to mathematical knots in hyperbolic space LastGinger 2020-10-14 | This Video has been increased to 1440p from the 480p DVD release using AI upscaling, making this the highest resolution currently available.-----Press "SHOW MORE" to view uploader notes, description, further resources, and credits----- imgur.com/E3sPgO5-----UPLOADER NOTES-----Given it's relationship to Outside In, I figured it was only right that I upload Not Knot as well. I have an original VHS and supplemantary book of Not Knot, if anyone has a legit VHS copy of Outside In please let me know! I opted to use the DVD release for the upscale, mostly because I don't have a VHS player to record with but also because I'm afraid I wouldn't be knowledgable enough to create a high quality rip from an analog source.My upscale skills are pretty basic, what I've excelled in so far is digging up the highest quality originals to upscale from. I'm getting better at command line arguments for a lab I'm in, so hopefully I'll be able to start upscaling using Joel Hruska's DS9UP methods. I plan on doing more upscales in the future, if you have any suggestions, please let me know!----DESCRIPTION----Not Knot is a guided tour into computer-animated hyperbolic space. It proceeds from the world of knots to their complementary spaces -- what's not a knot. Profound theorems of recent mathematics show that most known complements carry the structure of hyperbolic geometry, a geometry in which the sum of three angles of a triangle always is less than 180 degrees. ----FURTHER RESOURCES----What is a Knot? - Numberphile(youtube.com/watch?v=aqyyhhnGraw)David Epstein: Innovative teaching techniques(http://www.geom.uiuc.edu/docs/forum/epstein/)Short review of Not Knot and Supplementary book (requires college access)(jstor.org/stable/3619248)Geometry Center - Original page for Not Knot(http://www.geom.uiuc.edu/video/NotKnot/)Image stills with short descriptions(http://www.geom.uiuc.edu/graphics/pix/Video_Productions/Not_Knot/)AK Peters - Original VHS Distribution(web.archive.org/web/20010426062748/http://www.akpeters.com/book.asp?bID=125)Geometry Center Homepage - Find original software, files, descriptions, and animations(http://www.geom.uiuc.edu/)----The following resources are not readily available.
