The Fountain in a Single Picture

After having watched The Fountain for the 50th time, I remembered Darren Aronofsky saying how the whole movie is a journey into the light. It is very dark in the beginning and becomes brighter and brighter towards the end. Since this movie is about 90 minutes long, this is a very slow transition – one that you probably more feel than see.

Well, a few days ago I saw 2001: A Space Odyssey compressed into a single picture and instantly had to try it with The Fountain. Aronofsky didn’t lie.

Each row represents 45 seconds of film. The Original is about 9000 pixels wide and 200mb heavy. Still, despite the movie being absolutely beautiful, I somehow expected more from this. Maybe I’ll streamline my process a bit more and try it with other movies – suggestions welcome!

Euro Pimp!

And now for something completely different. A few friends of mine and I recently joked about the low dollar course and how the Euro is now the currency. Long story short, we came up with a T-Shirt design – which I clicked together in Illustrator a few days later.

If you want it, vote for it! Update: damn.

Whiteout – Minimalistic Skin for VLC Movie Player

Not exactly the kind of blog entry I had in mind when creating this site, but anyway…

I didn’t really like any of the skins currently available on VLCs homepage. The miniMatrix skin looked very functional, but sadly also quite ugly, so I decided to make a skin with my own graphics based on this one.

There is also a .psd template for the buttons in the .vlt file, in case you care.
