Every film,
in its colors
A whole film, from beginning to end, seen in a different way. Swipe through 1,876 of them, hold one to scrub through it, and guess films by their colors alone.
A film in a glance
A movie barcode is a whole film, its frames averaged into colors and laid side by side in the order you see them. Fade to Color has one for each of 1,876 films. The night scenes, the sunsets, the moment it all goes red. Swipe up for the next film, or hold one to scrub through it, scene by scene.
Take Five
Five films. Just their colors. How many would you know? Every day, the same five for everyone, each with four titles to choose from. No faces, no dialogue: just your memory for film. Then see how your friends did, or keep going in Marathon until your first miss.
Try one: which film is this?
One film, many shapes
The story is still there. Only the shape has changed. Below is The Lion King, from its first frame to its last, in six of the app’s eight shapes. The other two are the plainest: bars, as above, and a filmstrip, the film in rows like lines of text. Pick one for browsing and another for your library.
