If anyone really wants to geek out on slit-scan
madness, of course the apex of the art came quite
early with Doug Trumbull's stargate corridor
sequence for 2001. This was an extremely baroque
studio setup with multiple moving planes of
room-sized artwork, front and back lighting,
motion control, and, of course, slit scan photography.
In 2002, someone extracted the original
production artwork by unwrapping the edited film footage:

Nowadays live-action style slit scan is super
easy to accomplish with After Effects and other
2D applications. And of course, many of the
slit-scan classics (such as the Dr. Who main
title) are much more easily accomplished with 3D software.

John Whitney developed motion picture slit-scan
photography, and though he didn't really use it
in his own films, he did in his commercial
work. But it pretty quickly became a standard
tool for effects houses, showing up in
commercials, logos, special effects movies,
etc., so there are probably lots of examples out
there from a lot of effects people. Robert
Abel & Associates specialized in it.
Like here's one example from Abel:

Here is a link that is a pretty good explanation:

Hard work on film but there must be an easier way digitally.

I thought it was John Whitney who did it (I
could be wrong), but now I can't find it again,
and I forgot the original source.
