Summary

Description A brownian motion-like random walk of three particles (from the same starting position) for 10000 steps; frames illustrate every tenth step with colour fading to simulate motion blur/persistence of vision. Individual random walks created with ImageJ (for the macro see below), the colours inverted, and combined to a single RGB image.
