Method for exhibiting cinematic images photographed at two different frame rates

A method for imparting different image components onto a strip of motion picture film for exhibition to audiences, wherein certain image components recorded onto a first strip of motion picture film at a lower frame rate are combined with different image components recorded onto a second strip of motion picture film at a higher frame rate to produce a resultant cinematic image on a third strip of motion picture film, with the resultant image imparted onto said third film strip to be shown to the members of said audiences, comprising:

• a. photographing or printing successive visual image components onto said first strip of motion picture film;
• said image components photographed or printed at a frame rate of thirty frames per second or less, where such frame rate is not twenty-four frames per second;
• and
• b. photographing or printing successive visual image components which are different from those photographed or printed onto the first strip of motion picture film;
• the image components on said second strip of motion picture film photographed or printed at a frame rate in excess of thirty frames per second, said frame rate being double the frame rate at which the images photographed or printed onto said first strip of motion picture film are photographed or printed thereon, and such frame rate is not forty-eight frames per second;
• and
• c. superimposing the image components on said first strip of motion picture film and the image components on said second strip of motion picture film, for exhibition to motion picture audiences at the same frame rate that was used for photographing or printing said image components onto the second strip of film;
• said third strip of motion picture film further containing audio and other nonpicture information normally imparted onto such films for exhibition.
