Spotmaps translates every second of a film into a block of color
What can a film's color scheme say about its narrative? According to Spotmaps, quite a lot. Created by Andy Willis, Spotmaps is a Python-based project that conceptualizes classic movies not in words or storyboards, but highly-detailed color patterns. The project, which was inspired by Brendan Dawes' Cinema Redux experiment, translates every second of a film into a single block of color, based on a composite of every frame within that second.
Spotmaps, Color Blueprints for Movies
Spotmaps is an ongoing project by Andy Willis to create color blueprints for movies. Each colored square or “spot” represents the average color from one second of the movie.
