The general purpose of RNS: : Rapid Movie is capturing film frames at a rate much slower than a playback speed. When replayed at normal speed, time appears to be moving faster. Processes that would normally appear subtle to the human eye become very pronounced. Technologies supported: The following photography and cinematography techniques are supported by RNS: : Rapid Movie: - Time-lapse - each film frame is captured at a rate much slower than it will be played back. - Stop motion - an animation technique which makes static objects appear to move. - Sequential shooting - pictures are captured one after another in equal intervals. All video recordings created by Rapid Movie are saved in the QuickTime movie format (*.mov) All photo sequences shot by Rapid Movie are saved in the JPEG image format (*.jpg) To play QuickTime movie files created by RNS: : Rapid Movie, you may use QuickTime Player on your PC or Mac, or The Core Pocket Media Player (TCPMP) on your Treo or Zire 72. Areas of use: The technologies provided by RNS: : Rapid Movie generally give best results when recording objects or scenes that change slowly, in long periods of time. Some classic subjects include: - Evolution of a construction project - Front view from a moving vehicle - Daily changes - Plants growing and flowers opening - Cloudscapes and celestial motion - People in the city - Model animation - Fruit rotting Modes: Single Photo - captures still pictures just like the "Camera" application.

You can adjust the interval between consecutive shots. Moving Video - takes pictures sequentially in equal intervals, and saves them all as a single MOV file. You can adjust the interval between consecutive shots, as well as the playback rate.  |  |
