BBC Tomorrows World 1993: Time-Slice Films Feature

The Television debut of the Timeslice effect. Auto-exposure by Tim Macmillan

Using a 360 degree 301-frame camera, a sequence was shot to illustrate the Tomorrows World feature of the camera and technique (May 1993).

The dog created a strong reaction many people phoned in to the BBC because they imagined the dog to be dead! This highlights one phisiological aspect of the effect when it was first broadcast people were seeing something completely outside their understanding up to that point. Now the technique has become more ubiquitous there is less of a comprehension gap.

Tim Macmillan is a dude and I particularly love his early works, but I saw a documentary that had examples of a crude version of time slice photography by Eadweard Muybridge, circa 1870s.

Muybridge was a genius, and a total eccentric.
