*A salient still is an image that never existed. It represents a frame of many seconds. During that time the camera may have zoomed and panned, and objects in the scene may have moved. The image is nonetheless crisp, without blur, and perfectly resolved. The still photo’s contents reflect to some real degree the filmmaker’s intentions by putting more resolution in places where the camera zoomed or by widening the scene if it panned. In Bender’s method, quickly moving elements, like a person walking across a stage, drop out in favor of the temporarily stable ones. This example of multimedia involves translating one dimension (time) into another dimension (space). A simple example is when a speech (the acoustic domain) is transcribed to print (the text domain) with punctuation indicating some intonation. Or, the script for a play in which the spoken lines are accompanied by many stage direction to establish the desired tone. (Being Digital, Nicholas Negroponte)
