So here is a movie of the Elastic Pixels effect I have been working on. It is easy to tweak the effect in many ways, and though one setting might work under some circumstances, it might not work under others. This can be as simple as the room I am sitting in is getting darker. So, I tried capturing a the real time video effect as it was happening, and it worked to a certain degree. The thing is that the applet's frame rate is dropping quite a bit when doing capturing at the same time. This is not so strange, since both capturing and doing the video effect are processor intensive tasks, thus slowing the computer down. Still, I think this movie 'captured' some of what I think is a pretty neat real time effect. The effect is, in my opinion, very dependent on having enough processor power/speed to be successful. It might also be the case that this is something only I happen to like, and no one else, but that is kind of hard to know on beforehand ... :)
