Piece of Movie Pin ?

[disneyfreak619]

I have seen people find what scene the pins are from and be able to tell from what second to what second in the movie they pulled the cells from. My question is is there a way to tell how many cells per-second to be able to try and figure out how many cells are prime?

"Shooting on twos"
Moving characters are often shot "on twos", that is to say, one drawing is shown for every two frames of film (which usually runs at 24 frames per second), meaning there are only 12 drawings per second. Even though the image update rate is low, the fluidity is satisfactory for most subjects. However, when a character is required to perform a quick movement, it is usually necessary to revert to animating "on ones", as "twos" are too slow to convey the motion adequately. A blend of the two techniques keeps the eye fooled without unnecessary production cost.
Animation for television is usually produced on tight budgets. In addition to the use of limited animation techniques, television animation may be shot on "threes", or even "fours", i.e. three or four frames per drawing. This translates to only eight or six drawings per second.


So, assuming the films are at 24 frames per second, with the pins being LE 2000....2000/24 = 83.3333..... the pins would cover approximately 1 minute and 23 seconds of film
