“This film was made by superimposing in the camera six takes of myself playing the flute in six different positions around a circle. With each shot I randomly began playing “Row, Row, Row Your Boat”. The resulting film shows a unique rendition of this classic round.” - Jenny Okun

This film is a continuous take outside a tigers cage in Regents Park Zoo. During the first five minutes the camera moves independently of the tiger between two fixed points. The points were determined by the length of the tigers walk. For the last five minutes the camera follows the tiger.
