Theory of Mechanical Miniatures in Cinematography

摘要

CINEMATOGRAPHY is unique in offering the possibility of apparently magnifying or diminishing the dimension called time. By taking the pictures slowly and projecting them at normal speed, the time in which an event appears to happen is diminished. This is very easy to do and examples where the whole growth of a plant or the construction of a building appears to take place in a few moments were made years ago and are familiar to all.
