No lens is quick enough to track the movement of the human body. The molecules are always moving.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Animal vision - including human vision - is so biased toward movement that we don't technically see stationary objects at all.
Focusing isn't just an optical activity, it is also a mental one.
You can do really slow movements with it, like zooming in for a minute and a half. The audience isn't aware that the camera has moved, but there's subconscious tension there.
It turns out all molecular and biological systems have speeds of the atoms move inside them; the fastest possible speeds are determined by their molecular vibrations, and this speed is about a kilometre per second.
The eye is much more dynamic than any camera.
I've always had the utmost respect and awe of what the lens can do and what a director can do with just a camera move.
Seeing is in itself a movement.
I'm able to move like no one else you've ever seen in front of a camera.
We can track and see the production of single molecules, trace them and see how they assemble into structures.
The film camera's ability to physically move through space, not zoom through space - every time we have a video camera the movement is through zoom; every time we have a film camera it is a physical movement.
