This billboard shows a short animation, at the rate of one frame per day. Every night at midnight the billboard scrolls to the new picture, giving daily commuters something new to look at as they go past each day. . A webcam opposite captures each new picture every day, and at the end of the year they
can be collated into a short animated film.

How does the billboard scroll? Would you not need a team of
precision ninja bill posters? |

...as opposed to all those clumsy ninja bill posters |

The ones with the black gi covered in glue and bits of thick paper ? |

The minimum rate for an animation is about 15 frames a second. This will generate a 24 second sequence in a year. |

The main problem is that over a period of 15 days, and the creation of each of the single seconds of movement, there will be almost undetectable change in the appearance of the billboard. This means that will actually be very little that appears to be new each day. Having said that, it's still an idea that I like. + |

I don't know if it needs to be at 15 frames per
second... There are plenty of art-type films which
purposely use slower framerates. Anyway, wouldn't
part of the appeal be the ability to see the changing
landscape around the animation? |
