O' Brother, Where Art Thou

So a movie is a series of moving pictures.

Pictures are tones and colours. (sometimes just tones)

Question

Can 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
Nemo

Answer: yes, yes we can.

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")

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.
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.
