Wernher Krutein has experimented with time-lapse film techniques for twenty years, and has created an individual style that has developed into some of the most beautiful "organic" special effects available.

For example, have you ever tried to illustrate the Information Super Highway in video or film footage? Our special effects dept. has come up with a powerfully gripping technique to represent data-packets streaking across the Infobahn. Our colorful visuals of vehicles, dancing with a stop-and-go heartbeat rhythm over beautiful highways and roads, bring these arcane concepts to life. This innovative imagery can give your video, film, and multi-media presentations a wondrous look of magic and super reality.

Our formats include Betacam SP and original 16mm film negative. We are also beginning to digitize this library and hope to have it all available in various formats soon.

The following is a simple mathematical formula we developed for the purpose of being able to create the charts for determining direct relationships between Real Time and Video/Film running time (if you will, the brush sizes available for painting on the canvas of time):

t x 30 ÷ f = R
R x f÷ 30 = t
t = film/video total running time in seconds (@ 30 fps).
f = frames per minute.
R = Real-time in minutes, hours, or days.
