Code-based films

A film here is a program. Each frame is a pure function of its frame number: the story timeline gives every character, prop and light its state at time t, a shot file gives the camera, the path tracer renders the frame, FFmpeg assembles the film. Generated images (styleframes, turnarounds) exist only as a target to compare against. They never appear in the frame and are never used as textures.
