| The first "Chronography" ever? |
What I call "Chronography" - due to the lack of a better name for it - is a method for "squeezing" a video file down into a single image by line-scanning the video (in columns from left to right, for example). The result is an image that looks almost like a normal photograph, but contains data collected over an extended period of time. For example, you can have a photograph of a street in which it is 6:00 AM on the left, 1:00 PM in the center, and 8:00 PM on the right, and all other times in between.
As far as I know, I did. I have never seen this sort of "transformation" anywhere else, I just one day thought it could look good and programmed an effect for PicFX 3 (an image maltreatment application I never published) that does the work for me. I mean, of course there are photographs combined from maybe two or three frames, e.g. showing a tree halfway in winter and the other half in summer, but nobody seems to have had the idea to use several hundred frames taken at short intervals (40 ms to 30 seconds in my examples) and get a smooth, continuous transition. If you know of anybody else who has done this sort of thing, please let me know!
