Mystery Solved

La Jetee came up again in SPO today and the discussion continued on whether he shot it with film or stills...it is commonly assumed that he just shot stills, but anyone who has edited video or film knows that the frames and shots he got look more like freeze frames and would have been tremendously difficult to achive with a still camera. Plus, there's that one moment of live action of the girl looking into the camera.

Well, it wasn't all that tough to find, using google, it turns out that Marker indeed shot the film, but the lab f--- up a bunch of the footage. So Marker needed to figure out a solution and I guess he found it in what we now see.

USC acts like everything needs to be so deliberate, but it's the errors and mistakes which drive us in new directions...

UPDATE: Al contrare, this guy thinks he shot it with a still camera.
