8mm films are shot at 18 or 24 frames per second and projected at the same speed. Some 8mm projectors are capable of slow-motion projection. The slower the projection speed, the more intermittent the image becomes, making it clear that you are watching a series of slides in sequence. So I decided to try shooting something closer to normal movement using slow motion projection. I pressed the camera release button as hard as I could until my fingers cramped. The idea of cinematic movement is to see pictures one after the other, so the shooting speed is up to your fingers, and the projection speed is also roughly the same.
