Firebelly chain torches [4:3 | 179 frames ]
ppm tar.bz2 640x480 (26 MB) 320x240 (8.9 MB)
DV Quicktime NTSC 720x480 (22 MB)

Flaming torches at dusk. Fast motion, low contrast, and nasty interlacing artifacts. The ppm files have been cropped and rescaled a bit, so if you want to try deinterlacing, you'll want to work with the original dv version.
