Flicker in Motion Pictures

Flicker in motion pictures has been receiving attention ever since the beginning of the art, and most of the source of this defect have been minimized, if not eliminated, by technical accomplishments. The paper constitutes a qualitative review of the now prevalent sources of flicker, presenting some new concepts, emphasizing the sources of major importance at the present time, and reporting on two investigations made on the problem. Flicker and “registration jump” are differentiated, and the latter, which is really a separate problem, is not considered. Some data are presented to indicate the magnitude and characteristics of the flicker effect.
