Mandelbrot Movie 5

This movie operates in the reverse direcion to the earlier zoom-ins. Here we start zoomed in and move out. As the move progresses we see how each level of complexity is revealed as a minor detail of the next level up, until finally we see the Mandelbrot set as a whole.

It reminds me of those sci-fi movies where the shuttle departs from some non-descript docking bay and as it gets further and further away you see more and more of some enourmous spaceship.

Example

Some images related to the movie
Example We start off at (−0.3006818,0.6600910), in empty space close to some star-like appendages.
Example Which turn out to be minor details of one of the arms of a much bigger star.
Example Which is part of one of the arms of this rather complicated structure
Example Which is a microscopic piece of the structure attending this mini-mandelbrot.
Example Finally we start to see some of the circles attached directly to the main mandelbrot. The mini-mandelrot of the previous image is lost in the depths of the detail.
Example The Julia set at (−0.3006818,0.6600910) rendered using the "Stars" colouring algorithm. Notice the 11-fold nature of the spirals, which is common the all the images in this sequence.
