processing and video

Today I wanted to apply the asci code to video  recorded from a site field trip to manipulate  the images to create an artificial/ technology world.  This has involved hacking the code from asciVideo routine to make it import the movie rather than video:
void setup() {
  size(1280, 960, P2D);
  // Load and play the video in a loop
  movie = new Movie(this, "SANY0023.mov");


inserting a save routine and ensuring enough # for the frames generated:
   saveFrame("frames/frame######.png");
making the saved frames increment and save to a folder on the desktop:
 for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {



then importing the frames into final cut pro to edit and create video

code changed in places, experimented to get an interesting image such as font size, 2.5 min video 4500 frames

fontSize = 1.5;


at this point still processing the movie into frames so fair bit of work to be done to create the final video, but original source material (2.5 min) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLCD0Ts34LEand short video with limited frames from  the video (3 sec) on YouTube

This is just one of the frame images (number 4281) with brightness/contrast adjusted in photoshop
