See a movie in a single image.

[DaveC]

The site explains it, but this converts/compresses a film into an image like a barcode. If you've seen the films you can really see their colour tones come though.

Not sure I get it.... I mean I DO get it.... but.... nevermind.

I would love these as art work on my walls though.... gorgeous.

Here is the link to the actual site. My favourite is Hero!

Matrix looks distinctive too.

Wow Kill Bill Vol. 1 looks beautiful.

Oh WOW! Much better link Dave. Loved some of those. Moon is great... never seen that movie... and Jaws.

I expected the Wizard of Oz to be more marked about where the movie goes from B & W to colour... and more colour. And yes Matrix was VERY distintive wasn't it.

weird but cool

I know The Mattrix very well, probably could've identified it without a title.

Looks like they are updated daily, think I may check back at this this often.

Seriously thinking about getting one of these printed onto a canvas.

 

[DaveC]

I would love one hanging on the wall. Although, I have a fair few unframed prints around that need to get sorted first before I get anything new.

 

[deldaisy]

Yeah I hear you. I have something I want to get framed too.

I like the Wizard of Oz one. The sepia/colour transition works really well...

The Alice in Wonderland one's really pretty too

Not surprisingly very green

I like Pleasantville most I think - very restful the monochrome part

 

[ShadowNinjaCat]

My favourite is Kung Fu Panda but Hero is really pretty too.

 

[DaveC]

It's updated daily but this is the first one that has blown me away for a while.

Lion King!

Slap one in a frame, add some artistic mumbo jumbo about how this represents the artist's feelings of impersonalization in today's society, and sell it to the punters for ten grand at your local gallery.

Seriously, though, these represent less the actual color scheme of the movies than effects of the kinds of filters that were used during shooting or processing. Movies that used lots of filtering effects--like the sepia-toned look of the Godfather movies--tend to create more uniform-looking results. Those that used either neutral or no filters (or fil the punched up the colors) tend to have greater variability.

So you like the effect then?

I do. Being a projectionist, and seeing the different look of every single film frame by frame I find this fascinating.

I haven't bumped this in a while but this images have to be seen. What the Hell do these films look like normally???
