Slit Scan Camera Experiment In Flash

A very simple slit scan camera set up in flash. Most people are familiar the visual effect of a slit scan camera from photocopiers, and scanners. It works because the image is only captured from a single column or row that moves across the picture plane over time. The result is visual distortion of anything that moves while the scan line is crossing the picture plane, sort of a temporal fun house mirror.

I can't think of any practical applications of this for flash developers, but it is fun toy to play with. Here is the source: slitscancamera.zip
