Fade to Color
Paris, Texas’s movie barcode: its colors from the first frame to the last, left to right

Movie barcode

Paris, Texas

1984 · Wim Wenders · 2 h 27 min

Most of Paris, Texas is grey and near-black. Its brightest stretch is at 0:03:09, and its darkest at 1:09:56. It opens in green-grey and ends in grey.

A movie barcode is a whole film in one picture: its frames averaged into colors and laid side by side, the first on the left and the last on the right.

Scrub through it

In Fade to Color, hold the barcode to scrub through Paris, Texas scene by scene, draw it as a spiral, tree rings or a bookshelf, or make it your wallpaper. And name films from their colors alone, five a day.
