Movie Iris - Visualizing Films Through Color Extraction
I saw someone post these on reddit 4 years ago, and I really wanted to make them. I was surprised they didn't open source their code, so I rebuilt it. Lots of things I would do differently now haha, but anyway, figured someone here might find it interesting.
In plain words
Movie Iris extracts and visualizes the dominant colors from films, creating a color palette representation of each movie. The tool is designed for filmmakers, visual analysts, and cinema enthusiasts interested in understanding a film's visual composition and color grading choices. The creator rebuilt the project from scratch after discovering a similar concept shared years ago, offering their own interpretation of the color extraction technique.
