YouTube Video Mosaic
Friday, March 16th, 2007This video is made from videos on YouTube’s all time most viewed.
Once I had the idea in my head of what I wanted to create, I found that I needed to write a number of Perl scripts to patch this thing together. There are a number of complexities that needed to be solved.
- Create photo mosaic (used AndreaMosaic)
- Figure out at each frame what to be place in each tile
- Display 100 videos simultaneously
- Pan and zoom effect, within 100 videos
- Efficient usage of resolution specific data
Like all good hobbies, I got carried away with this one.
