Where the
celluloid hits the light. The part of a
motion picture projector where each
frame is projected. For slightly less than 1/32 sec., (outside of the
US and
Japan its 3/100 sec.), each tiny picture comes to a halt, and is illuminated by the projection lamp. This casts an image through the
lens onto the
screen. In reality; the image is projected 3 times through the use of a
three bladed shutter. This reduces the perceived flicker.
Intermittent motion is achieve through the use of a
Geneva star.
