This is some video, taken apart and then put back together again differently.

First, I made a photoquilt from the frames of a video clip. Then I created a computer simulation of sliding a camera along a sheet of ice over the videoquilt, shooting at normal video frame rate. In the simulation, you can nudge and pull the camera using the mouse and keyboard. You can also zoom in and zoom out. If you slide the camera in a straight line, at the correct speed, you get something which looks like normal video. If the camera curves or goes at a different speed, you get strange frame-effects. When the camera hits the edge of the image, it bounces, like on a pool table. It's just a way of making motion again out of the still images.

A couple of minutes of playing around with the sliding camera on screen, and many days of rendering later, you get this video. I need a 64-bit machine to speed up the rendering.

    this is great. I love it! the audio also.

    Would using full colour stills be too visually confusing?
  • Conor 1 year ago
    Glad you like it. Well, the main reason I didn't use colour stills was because it would require too much RAM to hold all the frames in memory at once. As it is, I can only put less than a quarter of the large picture in the frame at one time. If I get a bigger computer, I will surely have a go with colour.

    Wow. Great. Loved it. How did you learn how to do this?
  • Conor 1 year ago
    Thanks! I just got the idea from some other projects I've been doing. I had written the code I used to control the frame position years ago for some games I was making, I wrote some code for making photo mosaics for a workshop I helped to run last year, and my friend Mat is always making weird requests for software to rearrange strangely ordered frames.

    I like your video, it is very clever and so visually addictive (I'm sure there is a correct phrase for this :-)
  • Conor 1 year ago
    Cheers Sharna!
