Sleep now, Stalker
The year is finishing, full of unresolved anxieties, unrealized dreams, and plans which are leading no one knows where.
Andrei Tarkovsky, Time Within Time.

The beautiful colors of Andrei Tarkovsky’s movies
I’ve always loved the distinct works of Andrei Tarkovsky. I’ll use his movie Stalkerto show the process of creating a graphic visualization of a movie in a single image.
First I took my Blu Ray of Stalker, and ran it through the script:
The script will extract every n-frames of a video and stitch them together. You can extract 10 frames or all the frames like below:
You can see how in the above frame the dominating color are green and black. After extracting 5000 frames from the whole movie, we get something like this:
You can already see the distinct color palette of the movie. You can also average the colors of each frame and get a “smoother”palette:
With a little bit of manipulation, I turned the linear visualization into a warped disc:
I did the same for 3 Tarkovsky movies: “Andrey Rublev”, “Solaris” & “Stalker”.
With some Photoshop, I turned the first visualization into a Warpedposter like these:
And the second “smoothed” visualization into an Abstract Circular poster like these:
That’s it :)

You can also commission a poster for your favorite movie or tv show.
Thank you,
