Fooling around in Premiere Pro, I was attempting to construct a spatial jigsaw using a shot from The White Lotus (2×03), but pressed down the wrong key and accidentally created a Temporal Jigsaw instead. Huh. This was far more interesting! I then applied the same deformation to two iconic sequences, from The Usual Suspects and from Psycho. Each Temporal Jigsaw plays very differently, depending on the source material. What can this be used for? I don’t quite know. But there’s something here, I can feel that much. Perhaps I’ll make something with this someday. Or perhaps you will?
