A Journey on the Powell-Hyde Cable Car

An interactive 97-second film that visualizes a journey aboard San Francisco's iconic Powell-Hyde cable car, rendered in the distinctive style of risograph printing. The experience captures the route from Union Square up Nob Hill and Russian Hill, featuring landmarks like the Bay Bridge, Coit Tower, Lombard Street, and the Golden Gate Bridge. The maker used Claude to generate the procedural rendering tools that create the artistic, multi-color halftone aesthetic characteristic of risograph art.

Viewers can tap to enable sound while watching the stylized journey unfold. The project combines generative art techniques with San Francisco geography, creating a unique visual interpretation of a classic local experience. Source code and design notes are available on GitHub.
