Spent some time this morning reviewing the 16th's progress.

Exported images for sharing via blog post.

Found a way to collect screens for reference:

How to collect film stills for reference

"Hey Clive, I’m glad you’ve found the site useful over the years.
I have been using a command line tool called FFMPEG to capture screenshots. Its quite a process though. First you need to rip a bluray into a relatively standard video format, Prores, or high bitrate MP4. Then you can get FFMPEG to rip an image out of the video once every 3 seconds (or however often you want). When I’m done, I have a folder of between 1500-3000 images. Then I go in and manually remove all the duplicate frames, motion blurred frames, etc. It generally took me about 3 hours to take a film and turn it into a good collection of screenshots. It wasn’t quick.
The ability to browse the images as galleries was too expensive to continue but I’m trying to find a way to post the screenshots of entire films as downloads somewhere. Still working on the logistics."
