Thanks for this, Mark. I had forgotten what a beautiful film Water and Power 
is. The sequence you cite may very well be what I’m calling slow shutter. I’ll 
compare it to the one I reference in my study of George Kuchar’s video diaries. 
If they’re the same, you have helped me make an important point. I’ll let you 
know.

Hey Gene,

Do you mean just using a slower shutter speed so you get a streaking effect?  
If so, this is a really old technique in the analog world.  Are you thinking 
like the sequence starting at 2:38 here from Pat O'Neill's Water and Power?

This seems to be a pretty thorough account of experimental optical printing:

Can anyone recommend an article (interview, book?) that compares 
optical/mechanical “effects” with digital ones? Surely there must be numerous 
comparisons in both commercial/technical publications and art-oriented ones. 

Digital radically enlarges the field of possibility, so I imagine most 
comparisons would emphasize that. I’m especially interested in the digital 
effect called “slow shutter.” Is there a physical equivalent? If so, can anyone 
refer me to an artist who uses it? Scott?
