Unless I'm misunderstanding the effect you are after (you aren't looking for a
strobing image?) then shooting at 6fps will not create flicker, you'll just get
jerky high speed movement when projected back at the normal Super 8 frame rate
of 18fps. You want your projector to be running at a slow frame rate to get
noticeable flicker. If you want your film in the slow projector to appear at
normal speed then shoot your material at 6 or 9fps or whatever rate will match
your projectors running speed.

Thanks.
First I'll try to shoot at 6 fps.
It Seems more simple solution.
John if you remember the filmaker name,
write me please.
Thanks

Try projecting at a slower frame rate, there are many variable speed super 8
projectors that could project at rates like 12, 9 or 6 fps. Your camera also
might be able to shoot at a rate that could matchthe slower projector speed.
IIRC there was a British filmmaker whose name escapes me, active in the 70s and
80s, who shot and projected his films at 6 fps.
