600 iterations, take the last frame of that effort, and create a cross-fade to the original full-res poster. I could let primitive run for thousands of frames, it would take forever, but the final image would never be a 100% match with the original poster. I use the font Amatic SC Bold from Google Fonts,Īnd I let the text fade out after 3 seconds.Īt the end of the video, I do want to show the unmodified full resolution movie poster, so that the solution is always clear.

What better place to get movie posters from than IMDB? I wanted to be able to download movie posters of specific movies or let my script select one at random.

This time I wanted to take it a bit further and make a video where the image becomes clearer by the secondĪnd there is a challenge in guessing as fast as possible what movie is being shown. Some examples of earlier tests might give you an idea (working with large square pixels here: I mostly worked with movie posters, since those are often universally recognisable images. It is based on years of experimenting with image manipulation and information reduction.īasically: how much visual information do you need to recognise a (familiar) image?
