Movies at a Glance: Frame Posters


Most films are shot at about 24 frames per second, which adds up to roughly 170,000 frames for a two-hour movie. That’s far too many to fit on a poster, so I capture one frame per second and tile them together.

The result shows the film’s look and pacing at a glance.



2D and 3D animations are the most visually pleasing ones to look at. Two prime examples of that are Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Wolfwalkers. The former with its fantastic blend of CG and hand-drawn animation and the latter with clever use of colour as a vehicle to move the plot forward.
