Camera Running Speeds for Miniature Shooting

When shooting a miniature, you need to increase the running speed of the camera depending on the scale of the miniature used. This is to accurately show realism in the miniature. Below is a list of scale-to-camera speeds which must be followed in order to display realism.

Miniature Scale	Camera Speed Increase Factor	Adjusted Operating Speed
½	1.4	33x/Second
¼	2	48x/Second
1/8	2.8	67x/Second
1/10	3.2	77x/second
1/12	3.5	84x/Second
1/16	4	96x/Second
1/20	4.5	108x/Second
1/24	4.9	117x/Second
1/36	6	144x/Second
1/48	7	168x/Second
1/64	8	192x/Second
1/100	10	240x/Second

Filmmakers try to stay away from miniatures smaller than 1/64 scale because of the problems with running cameras at over 200fps as they require faster motors and also the miniatures themselves will take longer to construct as a miniature that small requires lots of time to retain realistic detail.
