Pie: Alan Woo Style

I found this really interesting project lead by Alan Woo on seeing if there were any stark similarities or contrasts within particular films. Pie aims to create an incredibly simple and concise baseline of comparison of films trough one particular trait: color say Alan Woo. The outcome is a number of triptychs comparing various films of particular trilogies, directors or genres. A program written in processing captures each frame of each movie and essentially creates a 'pie chart' of the colors contained within each film producing a simplistic and abstracted representation. Each poster includes the film title, year, director, cinematographer, running time and occasionally, various surprising/unsurprising similarities.

I found this very interesting and the depth in which he thought up this idea is pretty neat. The posters also have a very simplistic look but an in-depth background of how it came about.
