This is an experiment with creating a movie using images of faces clipped out of the newspaper. I was experimenting with painting only darker pixels on top of darker pixels. Every 8th frame, I would refresh and paint the latest image.

I tried clipping every face out of the NYT every day, but it took a long time. There is a perhaps easier way to accumulate face images. I have been looking at a neural net program developed at Carnegie Melon which searches images for faces (face detection). Information on that can be found here:
