A short code excerpt from this visualization I created for the longform article “Iouri Podladtchikov – You only fly once” by the Neue Zürcher Zeitung.
It's a very simple way to create an interactive animation based on video material. Hover over the image to go through the animation.
I used Final Cut Pro to export the frames of a short video sequence, which I then stitched together into a single film strip using ImageMagick: convert folder-of-stills/* +append filmstrip.jpg
