Code from the pixelstudy Bike & Planke, 2004

<>

2 scripts for the distinct display of pixelinfos within a video
The result can be seen in the section Multimedia - 'Bike & Planke'.


Here's the 1. script for displaying pixels as #hex values

the size of the displaxed #hex letters is due to the luminance:

& here the 2. script which

1. relocates the #hex-values of pixels in a coordinate system - the rgb value matches the xyz coordinates
2. represents pixels as colored arcs - radius due to luminanz - deformation due to differenz of neighbourpixels.

These are the steps to prepare & convert the singleframes for the videos:

Video Stream de/encoding is done with mplayer/mencoder:http://www.mplayerhq.hu
1. export movie to single jpegs:
mplayer -vop scale=720:576,eq=-20,hue=0.0:-2.1 -nosound -vo jpeg -jpeg optimize=6:quality=6 nameofmovie.mov
2. cut out some frames(processing 25fps take2much time in my machine):
rm -f *~[02468].jpg ->13fps
3. rename frames in a row with the help of this little bash script:

#! /bin/bash n=1 ## initialize first file number z=0000 ## a string for padding with zeroes for file in *.jpg ## for each file ending with .jpg do f=$z$n ## put the zeroes ahead of the number newfile=${f: -6}.jpg ## use the last 4 characters of $f mv "$file" "$newfile" ## move 'em out n=$(( $n + 1 )) ## add one to $n done

3. execute the python scripts from above
4. recode single .jpg in a folder to stream: mencoder "mf://*.jpg" -mf fps=25 -o output.avi -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4
5. eat icecream
