Week 6: Examples of same-spot image works – Alex Wang

Task:

Please find examples of image works (stills, videos, even audio) that are based on using more than one image taken from the exact same spot. 

What I found:

I watched this really interesting music video on youtube where the whole song was about time. The video was completely done through a normal camera, no green screen or computer graphics was involved. Basically the music video shows a time lapse of the same spot to create an effect of time changing, while the artist lip syncs to feel like he is singing at a really slow pace. So that when the video is sped up, it seems like the singer is singing at a normal time while the passengers and cars are moving at a really fast pace. I think this example is great because it demonstrates a powerful effect that is only viable when everything stays in the same place. Also that it is something that could be achieved without complex computer graphics or other kinds of post filming manipulation aside from speeding up the video.
