Processed video, uses frame differences to find outlines. connects edges if they are within 10 pixels on the same row, otherwise it gets a randomish dot.

Only problem is it's REALLY slow. No quicktime support in processing on linux :/ so I had to extract the frames then load them for each frame of the animation. Sure it could be optimized, but not sure if it's worth it.

source video is the opening credits of "Living with the Atom" from archive.org, public domain.
