Explore videography and photography

It was once said that that videography is 24 times per second harder than photography, is it true? Previously, I seemed to concur as in making a video one appears to need to consider and manage more attributes in the production than photography like sound and music, motion and transition and the different facets involved in editing. Until recently when I conceived the idea of incorporating some decent photographs into a video like this one when I then realized photography is not as easy as I thought: focus and sharpness, light and shadow, articulated composition and a decent subject, the execution all of which have to be crystallized and finalized within that fraction of a second of pressing the shutter. Photography, one might argue, is equally hard with only 1/24 second of the available time to complete the assignment than videography. The aim of this film is to get the most of videography and photography and to find the balance of the two in order to enhance the final presentation, so at the end of the day, both videography and photography are important, intertwine and should not be separately evaluated.
