2008_the_color_chain_full_version.html

A good idea with a so-so implementation (starting with the title). The Color Chain project was a candid exploration of youtube's video check bot. It started as an accident: I wanted to upload a black screen video for a project and it was systematically rejected. I found out that 'something must happen' in the video. I finally made it work using a title screen and a 3 frames flash of light somewhere in the middle of the 1 minute video. <br/>The idea after that was to put all RGB colors in youtube using this method. It was tedious. I didn't know back then that something called Python existed which would have automated the process. I've spent lots of time doing this. There was two versions of the project: the full version showing teh youtube videos (which had a nice gradient effect of the page), and a 'verbose' version which only showed the links with the corresponding color.
