1 MOTION & MICROMOTION STUDY EQUIPMENT Making the Motion Pictures: Performed for analysing the motions of workers performing manual tasks. Motion study is facilitated by the use of photographic and electronic data recording aids. Micromotion study requires the above equipment. Most important pieces are the motion picture camera (uses photographic film) and the video camera (uses magnetic tape) and recorder.

2 Motion study Equipment List: 1.Motion picture camera 2.Tripod 3.Exposure meter (to indicate how many frames have been shut) 4.Lamps with reflectors and tripods 5.Microchronometer 6.Motion picture projector and a portable screen for film analysis 7.Storage facility 8.Editing tools

3 Making the motion pictures Why do we make them? Motion pictures are made for many reasons such as: 1.For motion, micromotion, and memomotion study and research. 2.For obtaining work sampling data. 3.For training purposes. 4.For demonstrating the current method of doing the job. 5.For performance rating in time study and work sampling.

4 Procedure for Making Motion Pictures 1.Cooperation of operators and supervisors should be secured. 2.Check power supply availability. 3.Choose the best location for the camera and lights. 4.Make sure that the microchronometer and the identification card are inside the picture. 5.Provide the required films. 6.Adjust the camera (focus, zoom, height). 7.Fill in the motion picture data sheet. 8.Make the pictures (start filming)
