A panoramic timelapse of my favorite Hitchcock film, Rear Window. Scenes are kept in chronological order.
REAR WINDOW LOOP (2010)
Golden Nica 2012 & Vimeo Remix Award 2012
a visual installation by Jeff Desom
based on footage from Alfred Hitchcock’s “Rear Window” (1954)
I dissected all of Hitchcock’s Rear Window and stiched it back together in After Effects. I stabilized all the shots with camera movement in them. Since everything was filmed from pretty much the same angle I was able to match them into a single panoramic view of the entire backyard without any greater distortions. The order of events stays true to the movie’s plot.
We all know the game. In a detailed study, scientists have observed that player behavior has a surprisingly predictable pattern, and can be exploited when playing the ol’ “two outta three” variation.
After the first move, just know this:
If a player won, he will usually stick with the same play.
If a player lost, he will usually switch actions in a clockwise direction: rock changes to paper, paper to scissors, scissors to rock. (Perhaps simpler: HE’LL SWITCH TO WHAT BEAT HIM.)
Example. Say I’m playing rock-paper-scissors with Pierre in order to determine who gets the spot on the couch next to M.
Round 1: Pierre plays paper, I play rock. He wins. Round 2: Pierre plays paper, I switch to paper. We draw. Round 3: Pierre plays scissors, I switch to scissors. Another draw. I lose.
But if I’d kept the probabilities in mind, I could have changed my gameplay like so:
Round 1: Pierre plays paper, I play rock. He wins. Round 2: Pierre plays paper, I switch to scissors. I win. Round 3: Pierre switches to scissors, I switch to rock. I win again.
