Well, yes, of course, reading Mark Toscano's reply, there are all those films 
made at night.  I saw one by Takashi Ito called GHOST.  It was made in a 
dormitory in the company where he worked.  And he wrote that he was sleeping 
like two hours a day because of shooting long exposures frame by frame.  I 
highly recomend his work.  SPACEY is very interesting.  It uses animation 
techniques with photographs of a huge gym, but it seems like it was shot in the 
same painstaking conditions...I'm sure he didn't sleep much.

And let's not forget Jeanne Liotta's OBSERVANDO EL CIELO.  I am one of the 
unfortunate one that hasn't seen it, but the clips look really good and I am 
sure she didn't get much sleep while doing it.

Cheers,

Jorge Lorenzo
