"The Growth of Plants" by Jean Comandon is a pioneering scientific film from 1929, considered one of the first to use time-lapse cinematography to visually capture the process of plant growth in accelerated speed, allowing viewers to see the normally slow development of flowers and vegetation in a relatively short time frame; it is essentially a visual study of plant biology captured through film by French biologist Jean Comandon, who was a leader in the field of micro-cinematography.
