This is a different excerpt from the same sequence as previously posted.

I created a new training set using three of the Transformers films directed by Michael Bay.

I realized after publishing that last post that I could resolve the issue with repetition issue with the SOM results simply by removed redundant pairs.

After some reflection of the results sorting the whole sequence, as previously posted, I realized that part of what makes the end part of the composition work is the intensity of movement; i.e. there is a large range of values in the flow (amount of movem…

Following the previous post, I ran the optical flow and sorting methods on the entire film, using the first frames as the reference pair.

Due to the way that optical flow is represented (one channel for x flow, another for y flow for all pixels arranged in a grid) it’s hard to make sense of whether it’s working and the features have meaning.

One of the new works for the New Media Gallery residency I proposed was something that’s been in the back of my mind for years.
