The technique of high-speed cinematography, based on the application of intermittent and rotating-prism cameras, is widely accepted today as a standard method of chronoscopic recording in virtually every field of science and technology. Significant improvements have been made in recent years in the mechanical, optical, and electronic design of these cameras, but equally important is the progress made in developing a general methodology for the efficient application of these instruments and techniques to specific scientific and technological problems. This paper develops these methods, describes the mathematical techniques involved and offers specific guidelines for optimizing their application.
