Jittery Time-Slice


I am actually paranoid enough to claim that I already invented the so-called "timeslice-photography" looong before THE MATRIX. And I have a proof! The Pepsi bottle test I did with my old friend Owen o'Toole in SF back in 1996. The problem: In the mid 90's nobody had a video camera. We got seven together... Digital still cameras were also not consumer items yet. The result looks even more jerky that this one. (Boy, this is real grandpa talk!)
Nowadays? Luckily I have 30 energized digital search bots under my command! With other words, I made it a student assignment in my class. Everybody in Korea has AT LEAST one digital still camera. Yet, there was one major handicap: Every model has a different delay between the "button-push" and the "click". That's why my scarf is flapping. Students obviously had fun with the assembly of the 19-frame sequence. This one is by Ji-Young Ju, one of my best students.
