Dennis Neuschaefer-Rube’s Stilled Films are individual works, each consisting of thousands of still frames from the movie that gives each piece its title. He has “stilled” nearly every film by Stanley Kubrick, which makes his work just that much better. You really get a feeling for each film’s mood and atmosphere. Pictured here is Eyes Wide Shut, with its golden hued opening scenes and darker sequences throughout the middle.

I created this image a few months ago, but I really like it and, therefore, thought I would share it. I created it in Photoshop 7, and although I don’t remember the exact process, here’s a brief summary of the steps I took to create it.
- Follow the steps of carbonfour.com’s
Starburst tutorial. - Change the Brightness/Contrast and Hue/Saturation until the desired colors are met.
- Filter → Distort → Twirl
- Use a few standard filters to create a glassier and softer effect.
- Continue to play with the Brightness/Contrast, Hue/Saturation, and other color tools until the final image is achieved.
Hm… not the best explanation, but it’s hard to say exactly because it was mostly experimentation. Anyways, enjoy!
