The image of the city depicted as a point cloud, rendered by scanning the city with a 3D scanner, seems to be packed with particles of dust, an ethereal hallucination in a virtual world. Departing from the boundless universe of data, we set our foot on one narrow street of Seoul. It felt even smaller than a dot. Departing from the boundless universe of data, we set our foot on one narrow street of Seoul. It felt even smaller than a dot. While materializing this street into VR, we hoped to express that even in this minute part of a microscopic city, movement continued unabated. The entity you come across may be a joyful rhythm beating inside your heart, a lonely rhythm standing unaccompanied or a hectic and restless rhythm that always has to be somewhere, anywhere but here. Lost embodies such rhythms. We may seem to be lonely beings that stand in the middle of the city, lost, without any inclination of where to go or how to get to another place.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
