lAp dissolVe
Superimposing a fade-in on a fade-out makes a lap dissolve so that one picture gradually
disappears as the next gradually appears. (This is also known as a cross-dissolve.) This allows
for a smooth transition during which the picture brightness scarcely varies. To produce a lap
dissolve:
1. Close the rst shot in a sequence with a fade out. When
beginning to close down the variable shutter, note what frame
you are at in the frame counter. Alternatively, time how long
it takes you to reach the closed position from the start of the
fade and stop lming.
2. Lock the variable shutter in the closed position.
3. Disengage the motor by setting the selector to 0.
4. Set the release selector to M.
5. Close the douser if not already closed by moving it into the
vertical position.
6. Cap the lens.
7. Using the backwind key, rewind the lm until the frame counter
indicates the duration of the fade out.
8. Move the release selector to the STOP position.
9. Frame the second sequence to be lmed.
10. As you begin lming by pressing the release selector to M,
begin the fade in by moving the variable shutter smoothly to
the open position.
11. Lock the variable shutter into the open position.
The Rex-o-fader is an accessory that can help with smooth fades and is available at APS. Ask
an APS employee to show you how to attach and use it if you decide to check it out with a Bolex.
