Watch Une Succession Intermittente (1980) Official Trailer

Even if you watch it all day long, the human eye cannot see the movement of the clouds. In that sense, it can be said that interval shooting in movies has expanded human vision itself. Just as the invention of photography captures momentary movement, cinema presents a world that seems to compress real time. Interval shooting is normally used only in science films and the like. In this work, such changes were captured at intervals of a few seconds, rather than frame-by-frame. Without a timer or anything, I set the camera on a tripod in my room, sat down on a chair beside me, and pressed the release bit by bit, entirely manually from before dawn until the sun went down.
