Motion Extraction
In this video from his YouTube channel “about anything”, Posy demonstrates a video filtering technique called motion extraction. A commenter calls this video “a tutorial, a demonstration, and a work of art”, all rolled into one. It’s really lovely and informative. My jaw actually dropped at the “how can you tell which stones were disturbed on the path” part.

Reminds me of the (commercial, closed, but nifty) industrial motion amplification tools from RDI Technologies (www.rditechnologies.com) I first saw it on Steve Mould's video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEoc0YoALt0
RDI has great examples online. Of course, Posy's video is a different approach, and far more accessible to regular folks & artists.
Would love to learn more about the tools doing this kind of thing (particularly techniques & free/open-source software).

This is the name that'll be displayed next to comments you make on kottke.org; your email will not be displayed publicly. I'd encourage you to use your real name (or at least your first name and last initial) but you can also pick something that you go by when you participate in communities online. Choose something durable and reasonably unique (not "Me" or "anon"). Please don't change this often. No impersonation.
Note: I'm letting folks change their display names because the membership service that kottke.org uses collects full names and I thought some people might not want their names displayed publicly here. If it gets abused, I might disable this feature.
If you feel like this comment goes against the grain of the community guidelines or is otherwise inappropriate, please let me know and I will take a look at it.
