Electronic Flashtube Illumination for Specialized Motion Picture Photography
Henry M. Lester · Journal of the Society of Motion Picture Engineers · 1948
This paper presents a discussion of the possibilities of utilizing electronic flashtubes in synchronization with standard motion picture cameras at normal and moderately high exposure rates. The results of experimental tests are described, and are followed by descriptions of two units, the Cine-Strobe-Light and the Universal Strobe-Light intended for use in this manner. Associated lighting equipment is shown, and results obtained, together with side effects, are discussed.
