To me, the sea change isn't still or video, it is how we look at images. The
vast majority of images now are viewed on monitors. The monitor doesn't care if
the image is moving or not, however people want instant gratification.
Video really doesn't give them that the same way a discreet image does.
A 10 minute exposure to make a single image is, in effect, a moment in time.
A 10 minute video is, in effect, a waste of 10 minutes unless the person
actually knows something about shooting video, and most people don't.
By that metric, the only difference between a most videos and most photographs
is how much time you wasted by looking at them. Or for that matter, email.
I can look at and dismiss a crappy 10 minute time exposure photograph is
about 2 seconds flat. A crappy 10 minute video has to be suffered
through for 10 minutes to take it all in.
