Adding those images to a resource file, they could then filter the source material, assign numerical values to the "value" (lightness/darkness) of a video frame, and then use that data to do a swap with the dice photos.

They could probably get color effects the same way, or if they need to differentiate between different hues with the same gray scale values, add a separate pass to distinguish between them.

That's my guess. But regardless of "how", it's a nice piece. Thanks for sharing it.; Monday, July 02, 2007 7:20:00 PM
