Embedding movie into SBART - breeding deformed movies

This paper presents a new feature embedded in SBART to breed a deformed movie and an expanded image from a movie. To realize these functions, two new nonterminals for a GP-style genotype are introduced. Each of them takes one argument of a three-dimensional vector and returns a colour value picked up from the source movie. The boxel method interprets a given vector as coordination in cubic volume constructed by expanding the source movie along the time axis. It transforms three dimensional boxel data into a two-dimensional plane. The other picks up a pixel from a movie frame. By synchronously selecting frames to make a movie, it produces a new movie of deformed frames as a special effect. Recent high-end personal computers have enough computational power to use these functions smoothly.
