Maximum extended edit: every frame of the Math-Film-Matics project in roll order.

Matt_Parker_2 2024-08-26 | This is the full, unedited film scan from the 35mm stand-up maths video: youtu.be/QYUE696k6GY

The shots are all in the order they were exposed onto the film and we've just put the rolls one after the other. The colours look strange because it's the raw scan with no colour correction.

The scan was the full width of the film, perforations and all, so we had the option to show or crop the exterior parts of the film in the edit.

Yes, the sound is a bit odd and sometimes only in the left channel. It's the raw audio we captured on-set with no processing at all.

Thanks to my patreon supporters who paid to buy, develop and scan 2,000 feet of 35mm film, plus a bonus roll of 16mm. If you are one such supporter: you can claim some of the film! Details here: patreon.com/standupmaths

Matt built a shape LIVE

Matt_Parker_2 2023-03-21 | Watch as Matt builds a shape for the Polyplane project: http://polyplane.org

Send your shape in by 15 April 2023.

You can see the finished shape now! It’s on twitter here: twitter.com/standupmaths/status/1638509775934586884?s=46&t=EVDbN01K_p7T27Gd23R0bw

Or you can just look at the image: dropbox.com/s/eq2qsxwg8rqgi2b/the-mighty-tetrahedron.JPG?dl=0

Glen has since apologised for Polyplane using inches and explained that they were unable to get a metric grid to hang them from, whereas a 1-inch grid was easy to procure. I’ve decided we all forgive them.

Built using Jesse Mitchell's "pictoprime' code. It's on GitHub and can also be installed via npm.

I used some terrible python code to apply it to all the frames within a video.

Matt_Parker_2 2021-12-11 | This is the extra working out to go with my main video "What is the factorial of -½?" youtu.be/dGnIJFzkLI4
