Wow!
That is mesmerizing! The music certainly helps increase the effect.

Hey all.
Now that hugin recently switched to Mercurial for Code revision, I
thought I could try something fun with it:
Recently I stumblede over gource [1] a nice tool for the
visualization of sourcecode. I've used gource to visualize the
progress of my PhD-Thesis ([2], which was handed in a week ago btw)
and thought I'd do this for hugin.
It turned out to be a little bit of a challenge, but let me walk
through to the end-result:
On OS X it's pretty easy to install all the necessary things to make
the resulting movie, just make sure you've installed MacPorts [3]
and issue
$ sudo port install mercurial ffmpeg gource
in Terminal.app to install the necessary stuff. Then drink a coffee,
because this takes a long time :)
Using a simple
$ hg clone http://hugin.hg.sourceforge.net:8000/hgroot/hugin/hugin
hugin
in a directory of choice downloads hugin's source code. Again, do
this in the Terminal.app.
"Cd" into hugins directory and enter the following command:
gource -800x600 --disable-progress --stop-at-end --bloom-multiplier
1.25 -a 0.05 --output-ppm-stream - | ffmpeg -y -b 3000K -r 60 -f
image2pipe -vcodec ppm -i - -vcodec libx264 -vpre default hugin.mp4
This command instructs gource to make a 800x600 pixel movie with
some tweaks, outputs this to a ppm-stream and converts this stream
with ffmpeg to a resulting movie, hugin.mp4. Go and have another
coffee, since this can take even longer than the command above...
After you've marveled at the nearly 3 GB, two-hour (!) long movie
(or maybe not :) you wonder how to present this movie.
Fiddling around with iMovie [4] in the end you get this:

It's beautiful! My way of saying "Thank you" to all the developers
and coders of hugin. You've done a great job, I love to use hugin.
Keep it up!

[4]: http://www.apple.com/ilife/imovie/. The fiddling with iMovie
involved conversion of the movie to alter its speed, since iMovie
can only speed up to 2000%, which was not enough to go from +2 hours
to 4 minutes in one step. Since I've had a nice song as a
background, I had to to multiple exports and imports to speed the
movie up to the necessary 4.5 minutes,
