The Movie Iris project was born during quarantine after being inspired by Reddit’s r/dataisbeautiful. The project involves turning movies into still art by compressing raw frames to their core colors and visualizing the color schemes. The repo takes a video and creates two outputs: a barcode and a circle image. It is not just for movies, but any video can be used. The project was written in Python and uses CV2 and PIL libraries. The process involves capturing frames, skipping by a specified amount, increasing contrast, resizing, and merging frames to create a barcode. The final step involves transforming the barcode image into a circular visualization.
