Zebu

1987 Student Academy Award - Experimental

This experimental film was created via one pass through the camera without special visual effects. Each frame of the film was taken at night via a long time-lapse ("time-exposure") which created the actual images, and each frame of film was taken after a period of time from the previous frame, creating the movement of the images. What looks like the sun in some shots is actually the moon, over-exposed to allow the capture of the much-dimmer stars in the sky. Longer exposures for each frame can make a night-time shot look like a day-time shot, except that you can still see stars moving in the sky. This film won a CINE Golden Eagle.
