Head on over to the 1000 Frames of Hitchcock project to see what looks like all the great man’s films, each presented as a series of 1000 stills. Be warned, if you haven’t seen any of the films, then this might give away some of the plot lines…

They all look fantastic presented like this, taking on a textural quality – and it’s nice to see the more obscure ones like Murder! which I remember dissecting as part of my graphic design dissertation on Hitchcock’s visual style. Did you know that Hitch was a graphic designer before he went into films? (Before they called us graphic designers) Maybe that’s something to do with the way I’ve always been drawn to his work, every frame of his films feel like an exercise in composition.

On a related note, I started a ‘Hitchcockesque’ Flickr group a while back which is progressing nicely but could always do with more contributions…

Found on the always interesting Johnson Banks Thought for the Week
