Look closer. He said in "friday shot
s" S is plural and means more than one. A video is nothing else than more than one picture displayed with a time delay in between. In fact the very first animated pictures have been simple pictures and photos indeed.
In other words: you can very well see something moving if you compare 2 or more images with each other.
A funnier sidenote would be: if you speed in your car and get caught - do you get a video or a picture? If it's a picture how can it prove that you were moving?
Answer: it doesn't even have to. A picture can still show a status, feature etc. while someone just adds additional information using words, numbers or other expressions.
Another example would be an icon. It's usually static but it still is the gateway to a function. If you click the IL-2 icon twice for example it will start up the game. So how can a static image show this dynamic process you might ask? Again the answer is: it doesn't have to as long as that is common sense or explained somewhere. (FAQ, manual etc.)
Hope that helped
On a sidenote: what would be even more amazing than moving clouds would be transforming weather! In other words clouds not only moving but growing, colliding, combining and generally transforming into different weather situations. Might be storms, hail or vanishing until we have clear sky! But that is probably another topic
