50 second slit scan exposure using the iSight camera. See more slit scan images in the Slit-scan I set.
This is a remix of NRK's 10-hour “Nordlandsbanen” minute-by-minute documentary of a train's journey on Norway’s northenmost railway linking Trondheim and Bodø.

The Nordland Railway (‘Nordlandsbanen’ in Norwegian) celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. The railway is 729 kilometers long, and passes thorugh spectacular scenery, varying from the fjord area around Trondheim in the south, through beautiful valleys, over mountains and along fjords before crossing the Arctic Circle at Saltfjellet and descending down to the coastal city of Bodø.
Following the success of the world’s longest live documentary, Hurtigruten minute by minute, the Telemak Canal and Bergensbanen minute by minute, the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation set out to film the Nordland Railway as well. This time, though, we had to think up a way to show the contrasts one can encounter along the route; the weather, colours and climatic conditions.
The solution was to film the journey once every season, to show the different weather conditions and the great changes in nature’s expression from summer to authumn, and winter to spring.

A frame was taken every 18 or so minutes resulting in 1,920 frames (the same as the width of the original video) and then sliced together.
Trying out some more slit scan software I wrote. This time with bigger source images.
Same video/image stack as this one: www.flickr.com/photos/31382652@N00/9243723879/
This one has the horizontal slit going from top to bottom over time.

From a series of testing sessions with the Camera Donkey, an experimental photography device. It's an analog, optical slit scan taken with a digital photo camera.

The film was advanced by 1/8th of a turn after each exposure, so at the beginning, when the take up spool was "slim" the slits overlap, while by the end of the film there is no overlap, or even a small gap.

Taken with a slit-cam adapted from a simple point and shoot camera. This is a modification of the camera I used last year.

This time it takes standard width frames rather than strips which were several frames wide.
The shutter was wedged open using a piece of plastic tube and some blu-tac, and a 1mm slit, made from black card, was mounted at the film plane. Each time the shutter release is pressed, the motor winds on one frame, in the process moving it past the slit and making the exposure. Each exposure takes somewhat less than a second. The camera, an Olympus Trip 300 (£1.25 from a charity shop), has a slide across lens cover which is ideal to keep light out of the lens between exposures.
The camera was held still during this exposure.
One of my hacks from Music Hack Day Helsinki, 2013.
"Hackscan - takes a video and summarizes it intelligently into a single image by extracting single columns [or rows] of pixels from each frame. The result is a crazy looking image that captures the essence of the video."

Re-did from scratch. Close to 100 18 MPix images interpolated using optical flow. That got me 100 GB worth of images. Used ImageMagick to extract one line at a time from these images and assemble the final version.
Still think it might be easier to move a narrow slit in front of the lens while rotating.
Daily App Experiment #154: "Code" - You know when you are riding in a subway car watching the lights in the tunnel pass by? This is how those lights look when you film them through #SlitScan. I pressed my iPhone against the BART car window, to keep my hand steady, and captured this shot over the span of maybe 20 seconds. No additional effects where used. I wonder what other apps would look cool when filming out a BART window. #Daily_Appsperiment #appsperiment

This is the focal plane slit I made for my Petri TTL. It's made out of aluminium shim and is approx 0.2mm wide.

Taken with a slit-cam adapted from a simple point and shoot camera. The shutter was wedged open using a piece of plastic tube and some blu-tac, and a 1mm slit, made from black card, was mounted at the film plane. The cog-wheel which normally engages with the 35mm sprockets was taped over, thus fooling the automated wind on into keeping running for about 4 seconds each time the shutter release is pressed. The camera, an Olympus Trip 300 (£1.25 from a charity shop), has a slide across lens cover which is ideal to keep light out of the lens between exposures. I calculated that with the film moving at 60mm per second (measured by videoing the film winding then counting the perforations) the 1mm slit gives an exposure equivalent to 1/60th of a second. This photo is from the second film in this camera, this time the batteries were newer, and the film advance was faster, so these photos have been compressed horizontally to make them more viewable.
Georg Suttners painting "Man in water". A slit scan will only capture motion. Hence, his picture becomes a still life in time.

Shot by holding an iPad to the window of a National Express coach driving from Birmingham Airport to Digbeth Coach Station in central Birmingham running the Slit-Scan app.
A 1 pixel wide strip is recorded every eighth of a second. These strips are stacked in a row creating a visual graph of the journey. When the coach is still the strips are the same, creating blocks of colour. When the coach is moving quickly you see random noise or new patterns. Sometimes the coach moves at just the right speed to build an accurate image.

Street-Scape aims to visualize the density of the people and their movement speed in the urban space.
The walking direction of people in the street is plotted in one direction to make their relative distances between each-other more apparent. All static objects are blurred creating an ambience of the environment while making the moving ones more visible. The people walking 5km/h have original proportions. Everyone moving faster is thinner and everyone slower respectively wider.
Street-Scape renders the people anonymous while revealing their demographic qualities such as their approximate age and gender. Thus, showing the relative amount of children, grown-ups, older people, bikers, etc in a particular place during the visualized time.
