Pixelated Film Blueprints

Spotmaps Create Pixelated Movie Posters From a Different Perspective

— January 3, 2013 — Art & Design
At first glance, you may look at these prints and think that you are looking at a pixelated movie poster when in fact, what you are really seeing is a color blueprint for movies.

Spotmaps is based on Brendan Dawes’ Cinema Redux and is an ongoing project by Andy Willis, which is dedicated to mapping the color footprints of different films. In laymen’s terms, what this means is that each square you see represents the average color from one second of the movie and each row represents a whole minute. If you take a peak at the website, there are 296 blueprints of movies already made and many more that still need to be created.

You probably wouldn’t know it from simply looking at it, but movies such as Winter’s Bone and the Tree of Life are depicted in these pixelated movie posters, which create both a mystifying and intriguing tone.
Trend Themes
1. Color Footprint Mapping - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop technology to automatically generate color footprints for movies, enabling filmmakers to analyze and compare color palettes across different films.
2. Pixelated Movie Posters - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a platform that allows users to create personalized pixelated movie posters for their favorite films, combining nostalgia with modern design.
3. Film Blueprint Collection - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Build a digital marketplace for collectors and enthusiasts to buy, sell, and trade film blueprints, creating a new market for movie memorabilia.
Industry Implications
1. Film Production - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate color footprint mapping technology into film production software, revolutionizing the way filmmakers design and visualize color palettes.
2. Art and Design - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Collaborate with artists and designers to incorporate pixelated movie poster aesthetics into various art forms, such as clothing, home decor, and digital media.
3. Online Marketplace - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create an online platform specifically for film blueprint collectors, enabling them to connect, trade, and discover rare and exclusive film blueprints.
