in the 60s we all would shoot elapsed time single exposures of lights at night either moving the camera while exposing or letting the movement of the car or whatever make the streaks, usually superimposing over other stuff. Not necessarily long term time lapse requiring a timer though... Ed

"Attack"? What are you even talking about? I believe the OP was referring to the Vimeo description being a "provocation," not your response. I, on the other hand, thought your tone in the original reply was definitely cranky and judging by this follow-up, you're still having a bad day. Sorry

Provocation. Works for Trump. But so far we had not been directed to any clips of "streaky-lights car POV" footage prior to 1975. That's why the question is out there. Happy to revise when 'fact-checked'. / < DV > Gregory Gutenko / On Jun 26, 2016, at 2:04 PM, Francisco

BO made the optical effects, such as the white frames within the frame that appear in some scenes. Jonas later used them again, probably for Award Presentation to Andy Warhol, to have each frame reprinted twice. At 11:09 -0400 4/04/14, Michael Betancourt wrote: In doing some unrelated
