And of course there's Chris Marker's 60:ies classic _La Jetée_ which
uses the somewhat contrary approach: In the midst of this 'photo-
novel', told entirely through still images, there is suddenly a
subtle shift from still image to moving image, in the scene of a
woman in bed waking up. The shift from one still image to the next
comes in an increasingly rapid speed until we are all of a sudden
presented with a short sequence of moving image where the women opens
her closed eyes. The moment is so short and dreamlike that it is
hardly noticeable.
