- "Time had no meaning in those very early days, it seemed so slow and so very far away." 'LifeTime' is about the notion that as we travel through life, time appears to speed up. Six portrait scenes were filmed, each representing a different moment in time, and each situated in the same room with the camera running at different speeds for each moment in time.—David J Paradise
- 'LifeTime' is about the notion that as we travel through life, time appears to speed up. It presents a life span as a series of moments through various ages and the person's sense of time as a race. Time is slow at the start, it is "not in sight" and our subject has "all the time in the world" but gradually it gathers pace until, "time is running fast" and then the inevitable; "time has raced ahead". Six portrait scenes were filmed, each representing a different moment in time, and each situated in the same room with the camera running at different speeds for each moment in time; 80, 36, 18, 9, 4 fps as well as single frame. It was written and directed by David J.Paradise who used a Beaulieu 7008 Pro Super-8 camera and a wide variety of Super-8mm filmstocks. The first three scenes were filmed in black and white; Kodak 4-X 400ASA, Tri X 200ASA, Plus X 100ASA. The remainder was filmed in color; Ektachrome 160T, Ektachrome 64T, and Kodachrome 40.
"Time had no meaning in those very early days, it seemed so slow and so very far away. The race had begun and I was well ahead, I had all the time in the world and nothing to dread."
