Animation ha s a wide variety of applications. It is
used
in television com mer cials, in travelogues to
trace th e path of travel across a map, in graphs,
in titles, in the assembly or disassembly of man ufac-
tur ed products, etc.
Anim ation is accomplished with single- frame ex-
posur es as follows:
1
For expos ur e co ntrol , set th e speed- dial ind ex to 16.
Although th e ex posur e is about 1/35 second wh en
the camera is operating at 16 frames per second,
the single frame is ex po sed at about 1/ 17 second.
This admits twice as much lig ht as when the camera
is continuously operated at speed 16. To compensate
for thi s expos ur e, close the lens one opening; for ex-
ample, f /8 to f / 11. Best results will be obtained if the
release is u sed only when th e motor is fully wound.
2 Pull out th e single-frame release.

Make the expos ur e by pressing down the single-
frame release.
To give movement to the subject, expose a single
frame, move the s ubject slig htl y, expose anoth er
frame, move the subject again , and so on.
Th e number of frames to be exposed will depend
upon (1) th e speed at w hich you intend to project th e
film
and (2) the leng th of time th e action is to la st
on th e screen. For exam pl e: If th e ac tion is to last 5
seconds on
the screen, and yo ur projection speed is
16 frames per second, you will have to expose 80
frames (5 x 16).
Your Cine-Kodak Special II is also excellent for
time-lapse photography-a me thod of greatly accel-
era ting a period of time. The growth of a flower to
full bloom, rapid movement of street traffic, cloud
formations for an entire day, can be shown in a few
seconds'
proj ection. Expose one fram e at time int er -
vals which will produce th e desired effects. Th e in-
tervals between exposures will
vary according to
subj ect matter.
