and hnag on, i've just noticed the inherent sarchasm there.
The originality for me is using a conventionally still format, 35mm film and pinhole cameras, to convey movement in what is essentially a still image.

Yeah I know, I know...
But in that, they were using a coupla hundred digital stills cameras, timed to fire at a slight delay, then they used a BUCKLOAD of digital post-processing to produce the final image, which was a moving image.
In this, they've used standard 35mm film, about 600 pinhole cameras (notoriously unpredictable to make, and DAMN hard to light correctly) fired all at the same time, to create an illusion of movement, whereas the actual subject is frozen in mid-shot.
Also, NO post-processing, just developed, as you would a normal 35mm roll.
The apparent simplicity, when you understand how many variables are involved, is amazing.
IMHO
