Homework Help

[Cheese]

I need a list of films that use the effect when the central character remains stationary (or doing little) and the rest of the world is sped up really fast.

(Those that watched my film last week will know what I mean.)

Also does anyone know if that sort of shot have a special name?

Cheers, my dears.

Doesn't the butterfly effect have this type of camera trickery in it :unsure:

Not from me, I genuinely didn't know you had left College and as such am entirely unaware of what you are currently doing.

It's no big deal tho' I was only asking.

@ Cheese - Sorry to wander off topic

[GepperRankins]

Pretty lame, don't strain yourself. :ermm:

The trip through the black monolith at the end of 2001, a space odyssey.

Not too sure, though.

[JPaul]

Sorry mate, all I can think of is it appearing in music videos and even then I only have nebulous images. I take it you are looking for feature films.

EDIT - I can hear the tune but I don't recognise it. Really.

[Cheese]

I think they have used the same sort of effect in Scrubs, also I've seen it in lots of adverts but I'd prefer a film to compare it to.

Does Human Traffic?

[JPaul]

What about comparing it to the effects like those where we see fruit rotting, but over a few minutes. Or maggots eating a corpse. I think that's "stop motion" they use for that.

Wait a moment - The "original" Time Machine.

[GepperRankins]

there's a bit in lock stock *smilie

[Cheese]

Good one. :01:

The rotting fruit example will be useful as well. Cheers JPaul.

[JPaul]

I could be wrong, but didn't they use the rotting thing in "The Belly of an Architect". That's from memory so it's probably pish.

hanson's mmmbop video used it:smilie4:

I think Garden State uses it as well, but that film might be a bit too obscure. Reccommended though to those who haven't seen it yet. It has the guy from Scrubs in it, funnily enough.

On the basis that Scrubs is top TV, I will steal said movie at the earliest opportunity.

Flowers opening and closing as the day passes (clouds/sun go overhead). Usually seen on nature programs.

Films aren't really my strong point but I guess the symbolism is the same :dabs:

In fact, the guy from Scrubs (Zach Braff) wrote and directed it as well. Natalie Portman is in it also.

I was thinking of that type of thing as well. However more the "pages falling from a wall calender" to mark the passage of time. I assumed that Chebus was more looking for isolation metaphors than straight forward pasage of time.

Having said that, since he's given up poetry and moved into the media studies field, it could be the more prosaic imagery he had in mind.

If you tell me it was critically "panned" I may even go out and buy it.

You sound right :unsure:

Why did you not ask me about this earlier?

I think the effect you mean is a mix of Time lapse photography, possibly with the central character on slow motion.

If you haven't already have a look at these.

He didn't want you to get a headache by thinking too hard and then get all teary, what with you not getting the job and all. :console:

[Carcinus]

I see. My pretty little head may have exploded with the thinking, and he didn't have time to ask me what with me being busy in the kitchen and all that?

Saw and Phonebooth are kinda like that. Stationary and not doing much at all.
