This paper presents a laboratory exercise in which an integration problem is applied to cinematography, without the need for apparatus. The problem situation is about the oscillation control of a camera platform to attain the contrast angular rate of objects. Wave equations for describing the oscillations are presented and an expression for calculating the position error is derived. For solving the equations, an approximation method is used and the solution is compared with the analytic solution. Wave forms of the equations are illustrated. (YP)
