Description

Film showing different types of motion - a yellow mini drives through the streets of Salford, encountering captions that introduce three sections. 'Natural Motion' shows swaying leaves and flowers, flowing water and foam on the surface of a river. 'Mechanical Motion' sees machines at work, soap on a conveyor belt, tubes of Colgate being filled, a large drill breaking ground and gravel falling from a digger. The final section section features 'impossible motion', speeded up car journeys, dancing lamps and paper cups, and vanishing cars.
