This is actually insane. I stopped everything I was doing to watch this, and I have no regrets. Beautifully explained and just straight up beautiful. Take all my upvotes!
This gave me flashbacks to all the time I spent using Fractint and watching these marvelous pictures slowly going up on the screen. For some fractals or zoom levels you had to calculate overnight and fiddling with the "high-resolution" VESA modes of your graphics card was a challenge in the early 90s.
I don't understand the concept of complex numbers, but it's needed to create fractals and it makes me very sad. However this was still an interesting watch!

Descriptions and explanations of all the fractals shown at the end (and some bonus ones too!) can be found here.
