Rocked like fuck. Great fun.

Incidentally, and because I don’t really like posting blurry-cam shots like the above, I tracked down a ‘deblur’ utility to try to fix the motion-blur (see, it looks to me like it shouldn’t be impossible, particularly given that the hot spots make it very obvious about the direction and distance of the motion), so I found an old DOS programme, last compiled in 2003, fired up a Windows XP virtual machine, generated the necessary “point spread function”, and set it running.

It took SIXTEEN HOURS to process a single frame, and this is what it came up with:

I have a feeling there’s a very good reason as to why this project was abandoned.

I’m still confident that a computational solution is feasible. What I have in mind is GUI where you click on points that are actually the same spot, for instance on each end of the line generated when a hotspot is motion blurred, where the more points you give it, the cleaner a result you get, but apparently it’s not out there just yet.
