Movie Slitscans

CINEMETRICS evolved from a series of explorative experiments, processing video data in an attempt to capture the motion and structure of films in both static and moving images.

Slitscans

I created slitscans of every shot for several movies and arranged them in order as posters. This overview gives a good impression of how many shots there are as well as how long they are. Additionally, the slitscans give an indication of the kind of motion (in the scene, camera movement, zoom, etc.) in the picture.

Movie Core

Another experiment extrudes a circular part of the moving image, as if drilling through the video along the time axis. It's a bit reminiscent of ice core sampling as a way of extracting a cross section of many layers, built up over time.
