If the conditions are JUST RIGHT, I can get my SONY CCD-style Handycam, and my Sharp 46" Aquos LCD HDTV, to do very interesting phychedelic "fractal" feedback effects. Today, was NOT that day.
Still, I pulled off a few neat visuals, in spite of "Just Right" conditions not being present. I did manage to use a couple props: a Laser Pointer (NEVER USE with CRT Monitors!), and an LED Floodlight, which did help generate some "fractal" effects, and get other neat visuals from them.

Who needs drugs, when you've got THIS?! :)

(NOTE: I DID try playing with the TV's backlight, and the camera's shutter (adjusted the latter twice during this video), but you either gets blobs without "fractile" effects, or nothing at all. I only pulled that off twice. Wish I recorded it.)
