The "Silent Film" mode for DVD players will show all films in grainy black and white with a slightly variable
frame-rate. The musical score for the film will be analysed and converted to a piano accompaniment. Random subtitles from the DVD's subtitle track will occasionally be extracted and shown, surrounded
by decorative flourishes, in an old-fashioned typeface in white on a black screen. The credits will be shown at the beginning of the film. At the end of the film, the text "THE END" will be shown over the closing shot.
Only tenuously related to this idea.

//analysed and converted to a piano accompaniment// Is this possible to automate? Shouldn't it just _be_ silent? Or at least just make ciné projector sound effects sssschackerchackerchacker... You can sit at the piano and improvise your own accompaniment. I agree with [ZT], this sounds like a project for a studio of film-makers (in China presumably, to keep costs down) |

It should be, with the appropriate software, but on a computer, not on the cheap hardware inside a DVD player. |

Friends did this with their wedding video. Devastatingly funny, with jerky motion and cars zooming about frantically. |

Two thumbs up, by the way. |
