Now Playing
 
"Now Playing" records the feeling of a movie by interpreting the overall color cast (average color) of each frame and writing it as a single pixel. These pixels are sequenced left to right / top to bottom in the same manner as music or writing. Each image is a representation of the entirety of the film, evoking the memory and experience of having seen it.
