Related: lots of talk about so-called “Long Photographs”, video/film clips of what would otherwise be a good still image.

Life Outtacontext: Anatomy of a Long Photograph (via), which shows a clip from Koyaanisqatsi, the film that is somehow even more amazing than its name:

Koyaanisqatsi: People Portraits Excerpt

Koyaanisqatsi: Jumbo Jets

All of this is also in the same family as the cinematic styles of directors Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite), Wes Anderson (Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, etc), and of course, their more serious grandpappy, Stanley Kubrick (2001The ShiningFull Metal Jacket).

Also: Long Awkward Pose (“It’s simple, really. People look foolish when posing for a picture. So tell your loved ones you would like to take their photo… then secretly videotape them the whole time.”)

And, me: Zero Feedback experiments (“Model is simply told to “model”, and given no further instructions or feedback.”)
