The idea for our Active Images arose from our love of video photography and from our subsequent despair over the loss of these images when turning them into a film.

What we call the Active Image is a displayable motion picture image that bridges the recognizable gap between photography and narrative film.

Simply put, a photograph is a single suspended sliver of time; a film is an edited narrative. In between these two temporal extremes exists the ›extended photo‹ or what we call the film ›take‹, which is a recorded moving image that constitutes the raw material of the film.
