Sideways is a very small program created with Processing that creates 2 slitscan bitmaps from a single video. The video must be a first-person road shoot so both sides (left & right) are created from the edges.

instructions

• open the sketch in Processing. Download the program if necessary
• import your video to the sketch or place it in the /data directory
• update filename and extension variables accordingly

important variables

• scanBorderOffset is the sample distance from the edge
• scanWidth is the slice width
• widthFactor is the multiplier of the output width
