How do you make a Barrier Grid animation?

To make a barrier grid animation, you reduce the subject in each ‘frame’ of the original movie into a black silhouette, and then replace the black infill with a hatching of just a few vertical lines. The hatched silhouettes are then combined into a composite image, like the one in the animation at the head of the post.
