        Using eight of my favourite films from eight of my most admired directors 
        including Sidney Lumet, Francis Ford Coppola and John Boorman, each film 
        is processed through a Java program written with the <A href="http://www.processing.org/">processing</A> 
        environment . This small piece of software samples a movie every second 
        and generates an 8 x 6 pixel image of the frame at that moment in time. 
        It does this for the entire film, with each row representing one minute 
        of film time.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://processing.org/exhibition/works/redux/">The end result is a kind of unique fingerprint for that film. A sort 
        of movie DNA showing the colour hues as well as the rhythm of the editing 
        process. Compare Serpico to The Conversation. You can see there's far 
        more edits in Lumet's classic compared to the more gentle slower pace 
        of Coppola's Conversation.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left;
