The Shawshank Redemption’s movie barcode: its colors from the first frame to the last, left to right

Movie barcode

The Shawshank Redemption

1994 · Frank Darabont · 2 h 22 min

Most of The Shawshank Redemption is grey and brown-grey. Its brightest stretch is at 0:37:47, and its darkest at 0:17:21. It opens in pink-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 The Shawshank Redemption 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.
