Digital BW, The Print

Yeah, I am a fan.  Thanks for the link to the website. I will check it out.

A bit about the technology: 

The use of the stills and motion is called "motion table" or "motion graphics."  

The motion table comes from using a stationary camera above a table surface that moves....sometimes with computer control (mine has a small joystick).  The more sophisticated units also allow "zooming" at the same time as panning around the surface.  This gives a dynamic appearance to the still photo.  

Some of this stuff is very elaborate and very expensive.  Some is not.  

Mine cost about $1,000 and I considered it a bargain.

  Subject: [Digital BW] Ken Burns style Documentaries.


  Any other fan's of the Ken Burns type of documentaries?  Take for 
  instance of having a set of wonderful photos from a recent visit to 
  Vietnam, digitizing them and making a documentary type film with 
  subtle "camera" moves and a wonderful story.  

  Has anyone heard of an Indie DVD video magazine called SubstanceTV?  
  They do photographic, Ken Burns style of documentaries is the only 
  way I can describe it, is there a common term for this type of 
  production?  Anyway, they are a publication that delivers on DVD and 
  for instance they do photo essays that are set to interview SB's and 
  commentary.  I was fascinated by how it is presented and was 
  wondering how relevent this type of photo essay/film-umentary is.  If 
  I'm not very descriptive, I apologize.  You can see the format I'm 
  trying to describe at:
