Mineralogist

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.
