A Movie in a Single Image

[Riven]

Graphic designer Brendan Dawes recently created this very cool concept called "Cinema Redux" for an exhibition in the Museum of Modern Art in NYC. A computer program took a frame per second, which he arranged 60 across (so one line is one minute of film) to create a "poster" of an entire movie. This gives you a unique look at a film in one glance, an experience which can tell you a lot about a director's use of colour, rhythm and the editing process.
