Moving Still
- 1981 ----- color ----- 57 min ----- vhs
- (Nova series) Traces the history of photography from the early camera obscura to cinematography's revelations of behavior and processes too slow or too fast for the human eye to perceive. Presents the progression and increasing sophistication of photograhic techniques, such as Ernst Mach's first pictures of a moving bullet in flight and Dr. Harold Edgerton's invention of the stroboscope to "cheat" time by compressing days into seconds and expanding seconds into hours. Shows how photography is valuable for diagnostic uses and applications in science--from analyzing cell division in a rabbit egg to studying a rocket liftoff.
- Topics: (Art, Motion Pictures: History, Photography)
