Learning to Count…
This video is inspired by Christian Marclay’s “The Clock”. A fantastic example of how cinema can mirror life through a looped 24 hour film reflected in temporal representations. One of the reasons we do automated video analysis at Yarn is to break through video’s inherent time limitations, e.g. 1 minute of video = 1 minute of your life (that’s depressing…).
In a previous post we searched for phone digits, in this example we’ll analyze whole numbers. We queried the Yarn “smart timeline” to see if it could be leveraged to perform a rudimentary pre-math skill…like counting.
This Yarn mashup extracts and combines a series of numbers (zero to 100) found in movies and tv shows.
Here are the sources if you need help identifying the Yarns.
