As a fun experiment several years ago I extracted all the frames of Skyfall and all the frames of the first Harry Potter movie. I then reconstructed Harry Potter frame by frame using the corresponding frame from Skyfall that was most visually similar. The end result was far more indecipherable than I'd ever expected.

I spent some time earlier this year on creating mosaics of movie posters using other posters as tiles: https://joshmosier.com/posts/movie-posters/full-res.jpg (warning: 20mb file) Using this on each frame of a scene gave some good results with a fine enough grid even with no repeating tiles: https://youtu.be/GVHPi-FrDY4
This is quite nice. Not sure what the meaning is of a circle versus, say, a linear strip, but it’s very effective for showing the dominant colors over time. I’d love to generally see this for many movies across time; my understanding is most are color graded green/yellow now and it’d be nice to visually see this evolution.

Here's how to do it with ffmpeg and ImageMagick: ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf "scale=1:ih" frames_%04d.png magick montage -mode concatenate -tile x1 frames_*.png "output.png"
>bash: /usr/bin/montage: Argument list too long
with 114394 files for a 1h20m film.

does it work for you on a film? 'magick' isn't a command on my install. I can run montage but get >bash: /usr/bin/montage: Argument list too long with 114394 files for a 1h20m film.

If you had a much bigger corpus, and used some semantics-aware similarity metrics (think embeddings), you could maybe end up with something actually coherent
Earlier quoted context omitted.

You'll need to install ImageMagick: https://imagemagick.org/script/download.php
