RE: [TCML] Camcorder Gap Syncronizing

[Jeff Behary <electrotherapy@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

David,
 
I've had this happen by accident with a stationary gap!

About 14 seconds into the movie, the spark in the spark gap disappears!  The camera only caught the reflection of the spark on the shiny metal pieces!  I guess it was somehow in sync with the 30 frames a second...
I didn't even notice in putting the clips together until after the movie was made.
 
I always wondered if you could use a strobe light when working on a lathe to check the finish of parts, while they are spinning.  I'm not sure though, is what you see when the motion "stops" the actual object (as it would be if stopped) or is it just an optical illusion of sorts?
 
Jeff
