How this page was made
86 shots over 6:22, read from the Internet Archive copy popeye_shuteye_popeye (popeye_shuteye_popeye_512kb.mp4, 320×240, 29.97 fps). Shot boundaries by PySceneDetect's adaptive detector; each frame links to the Archive's player at that second. Registry dossier: Shuteye Popeye No renewal found. JSON
Measurements: colour film on its keyframes (85 of 86 shots judged colour), average shot 4.4s long, a frontal face detected in 3% of keyframes. Shots are detected automatically and each is represented by its midpoint frame.
Released 1952 (Internet Archive).
57 beats in 35 sequences, cut automatically at shot boundaries scored on picture change, pauses in speech, topic shifts, on-screen text and cutting rhythm (each beat says why it starts where it does). Each is annotated by a vision-language model from four sampled frames and the transcript lines in it, as observations with evidence; anything the frames and lines do not support is left null. Machine annotation (Qwen/Qwen3-VL-235B-A22B-Instruct), checked automatically: quotes must be verbatim, names must be spoken, "visible" events are sampled to a second model. 57 of 57 beats annotated, 50 passed the checks, 7 flagged.
