    Lovely Bren. It is surprising how attractive simple shapes can be. Almost, calming! Which ironically goes against the films intent, to put the viewer on edge.

    Good stuff (as usual)

    Very cool, some of them remind me of the shots taken by the hubble telescope.

    have you got any as larger images? I would love to see some of the detail in there.

    As a long time fan of Alfred Hitchcock, not to mention the work of Saul Bass, one of my all time favourite films is still Vertigo. Not only is the film one of Hitchcocks greatest pieces of work, the opening titles by Saul Bass, together with John Whitney is one of my most admired pieces of design.

    So I was inspired to make a graphic homage to Vertigo, inspired by the Lissajous spirals used in the titles. I wrote a quick piece of software that samples the color information from the individual frames of the movie and uses that to generate random spiral shapes. Here’s a low-res version of my favourite 200 spirals. These spirals are not Lissajous waves - that’s coming in the next version.
