This database allows for individual frames to be taken from the videos in order to generate static images of actors conveying different traits.

This dataset contains twenty different static actions performed by up to ten actors, and the same actor did the same action from one to three times.
In SDF, actors have static firing rules: they consume and produce a fixed number of data tokens in each firing.
Campion filmed Friends largely in long, static shots, in which her actors are continually moving around and out of frame, re-arranging the drama in front of the audience, and suggesting the life bustling around the edges of the screen.

The visualization system renders a virtual scene using a static background overlaid with virtual actors animated using the indexed information.
Further, neither the projections nor the actors are completely static, giving the video an uncanny touch; the characters are neiter simply cutouts or archetypes, but human beings experiencing flattening moments. .
Static pictures portraying faces of actors expressing positive, negative or neutral emotions were presented on a screen.
