I did finally sit down and watch "La Jetee" closely, and there is at least one motion shot. Where the girl is in bed, she begins to blink and the sound seems to be represented as well. I think this is a comment on the nature of perception and how falling in love makes things seem more real, or at least more immediate. It was also probably much, much cheaper to make the rest of the movie this way, justified by taking advantage of the themes of suspended life and historical nostalgia.
(For those playing at home, "the girl" is about thirty, and other scenes in the film are in a natural history museum of the time with thousands of taxidermied animals. Talk about your outdated attitudes.)
