First and Final Frames – Movie Compilation

The first and final frames of iconic movies side by side.

Jacob T. Swinney, a Baltimore, MD based fimmaker and director has created this fantastic movie compilation. He only used the first and final shot of 55 movies and put them together side by side. These scenes are accompanied by Thomas Newman’s song: “Any Other Name”.

The video includes scenes from movies such as “The Tree of Life”, “No Country for Old Men”, “Blue Valentine”, “Taxi Driver”, “Fight Club”, “12 Years a Slave”, “Before Sunrise”, and many more. It’s easy to get lost in this beautiful compilation. This supercut reminds us of all these beauty of those little details seen in diverse movies. In addition, it gives us completely new impressions and we can recognize new little details. Some of the opening scenes can be similar to the final shots, while others are vastly different. Below you can see some stills as well as the the filane video.

In addition, this beautiful supercut by Jacob T. Swinney is also featured in our WE AND THE COLOR Vimeo Group and Channel.
