ok, i'm trying to find out what it's called when you take dozens (hundreds) of pictures/images of random things and add them together to create a new and totally different picture.
no, it's not something as simple as PSing a picture with several hundreds of pictures/images (although it might be possible, it'd take several hours, even days, to take hundreds of images and arrange them per..... just, no).

any help from any one on this?

example:
you see a picture of a single yellow flower, with green grass growing around it, and a light blue sky. what you don't see, at least consciously (or at first glance), is the hundreds, thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of pictures that make up the "original" picture you are seeing, but because your conscious mind is just seeing the picture of the flower, the subconscious part of the brain is literally soaking up and storing every single one of those images that you unknowingly looked at.



if any of you have seen the movie "Paycheck", what i'm talking about would be like the stamp on the envelope that had the front page of several newspapers in the eyes.

if you ever saw the movie Serenity, if you remember the part where everyone was at a bar trying to find "jobs" and leads for their next payment, River came in a saw an advertisement on one of the tvs then goes nuts and starts kickin ass.
that's kind of the same thing, but using video instead of a picture.
now, i'm not talking about doing something that small, but it's still the basic idea of what i'm wanting.



thanks
