Dominican Coins

Did I mention already that the coins here in the Republic are made of
rubber ?

  1. How do you make that effect ?

  2. I discovered this per accident.
    My phone's camera only makes 10 frames/s (.3gp standard) which causes this effect.
    I would like to try how to simulate the same effect using proper equipment, but I guess you'd have to use a frame mixdown that merges multiple frames in such a way that the upper part contains the first frame, the part below contains the next frame, the part below that contains the frame after that and so one.
    It reminds me of some photographs taken with one of the first digital camera's, who used scanlines.
    Because of the long time for the process (about 20 minutes), the subject slowly turned its head resulting in a unnaturally twisted picture, top - down, much like the coin...
