[edit] stop press
I've been reinventing the wheel: http://www.brendandawes.com/sketches/redux/
Additionally, the timeline has been done as a "barcode" here: http://www.redbubble.com/people/moviebarcode / http://moviebarcode.tumblr.com
So a movie is a series of moving pictures.
Pictures are tones and colours. (sometimes just tones)
[edit] QuestionCan we visualise the whole movie in one still image to show a timeline of colour and tone? ie, to watch the movie in space, not in time

Answer: yes, yes we can.
[edit] How?
Encode the movie to 1fps at a low resolution (32x18), then tile the frames to an image. (60frames wide for easy to conceptualise "1 minute per row").
[edit] as-timeline
In retrospect, the timeline version works better than I had thought, and had therefore never tested. Montage 1 frame per 10 seconds to a single row, then resize to approx 1horizontal pixel per 2 seconds, and 512pixels height.
[edit] Issues to Note
- Copyright
- The resultant image is a fraction of a percent of the original movie visual data. And no audio data. It is ludicrous to think that such a small percentage of content (equivalent to no more than a couple of frames of screengrab) would be copyright infringement. As such, I am marking these images as 'fair use'. They are, non-reversible derivative works.
- Audio
- There is no audio - though a pitch adjusted speedup up the entire movie audio (reduce to, say, one minute, or perhaps by a factor of 60) could be interesting as a side project also.
- Final image size
- Several meg for the 32pixel rendering. I also render a 16pixel width version (that is: 16px wide per frame), and then that is reduced again by half for the 8px width versions seen here.
[edit] Results
[edit] Cube
This movie is set in a series of rooms, identical except for colouring. This makes for not only an excellent movie map, but the resulting map is a useful tool to analyse colour usage within the movie!
[edit] O' Brother, Where Art Thou
With distinct colourisation throughout the movie, this map is similarly distinctive. The Blue at the end is very notable
[edit] Pleasantville
I had hoped the gradual introduction of colour within the movie would be evident within the moviemap. This was not the case though, and the map was quite drab.
[edit] Tron
Very colourful, but not coherently so (ie, unlike Cube or Oh' Brother). Alot of electric-blue look showed through.
[edit] Planned
[edit] Matrix Trilogy
- not yet mapped, I hope to see evidence of the red/green colourisation between the real world and the matrix
[edit] Star Wars trilogy
- not yet mapped, but the trilogy set many key planetside scenes in very defined areas which should show up well. (Ice battle, desert battle, forest chase, etc)
