This site allows you to watch a live webcam of the famous abbey wood crossing. Many tourists come here and some try and replicate the Beatles “abbey road” album cover. This can be quite entertaining to watch as many make many attempts running back and forth changing direction on the crossing.

This was my initial stage.

I decided to watch and analyse the webcam. I was interested in how the people crossing from left to right or right to left could generate a pattern. So I recorded 1 hour of the webcam: Saturday 9th Oct at 2:51pm. I then analysed the footage making note of stops, seconds taken to cross, direction of crossing, number of people.

The next stage would be turn the stop start key into a piece of music/ animation.
