I dissected all of Hitchcock's Rear Window and stiched it back together in After Effects. I stabilized all the shots with camera movement in them. Since everything was filmed from pretty much the same angle I was able to match them into a single panoramic view of the entire backyard without any greater distortions. The order of events stays true to the movie's plot.

1) That's quite amazing.
2) Hey, what bar is that?
Breathtaking, and a great piece to get insights into Hitchcock's meticulous film-making. This installation is made possible not only by the artist but also by Hitchcock's own genius. Thanks for sharing!
I love Rear Window, a fantastic masterpiece, and by far that was one of the coolest things I have ever seen done with the footage. I am a novice at using AF but this was some classic work... totally two thumbs way way up...
Man, this is way cooler than what they have going on at Vertigo, which is just the whole movie Vertigo playing, presumably on repeat.
