Check out the results of this data visualization project from GitHub user LoSinCos. Can you guess which movie the above image derives from? (Hint – there is no spoon).
The project is written in python:
The Movie Iris project was something that I started working on during quarantine. I saw some cool visualizations on Reddit’s r/dataisbeautiful and was inspired to start working on the project. Some other users had already done something like this – and I wanted to try my hand at is as well. This repo is my take on turning movies into still art. Effectively taking raw movie frames, compressing them to their core colors, and visualizing the color schemes of a movie. I wanted to see how movies evolve, as well as how directors intended for different colors to be prevalent across different scenes. I wanted to make something artistic and visual, and I figured this would be a great opportunity to learn how to do some image processing, while making something that I’ll actually get to enjoy as well as share with friends and family!

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
