Brendan Dawes shows us the cadence of his favourite movies by capturing a frame of each second of the film. Above shows Coppola's The Conversation which I recently saw again, if you've not able to scan the series of 8 by 6 pixel images above, go rent the film it's fantastic.
Shot in San Francisco and very atmospheric of the time, Gene Hackman plays the very private surveillance expert whose professional dispassion is tested by a case that draws him into his own decent into the paranoia of being observed, who's watching the watchers.
This also has to have one of the best sound engineering of any film.
One of my favorite SF shot films... thanks for reminding me.

Cinema Redux creates a single visual distillation of an entire movie; each row represents one minute of film time, comprised of 60 frames, each taken at one second intervals.
