ABSTRACT:
A motion picture camera for producing a plurality of sequential images in a film unit wherein the film unit moves in a first direction and the optics system moves along an arcuate path generally laterally with respect to the direction in which the film unit moves such that the images are produced in sequence in a plurality of parallel, arcuate rows generally laterally of the first direction. The optics system for producing such images is mounted on a rotating boom, the pivot axis of the boom substantially coinciding with the input axis of the camera and the output axis of the optics system being offset from the input axis by a distance which remains fixed during the rotation. Responsive to camera actuation, each film unit is advanced step by step between production of each image row and, following formation of a last row, the unit is advanced into a spread roll system. Release of the camera actuator then operates the spread roll system to process and eject the film and also to reset the film advance. A film cassette designed to contain a stack of film units is also disclosed and the camera includes a film frame unit designed to enter the cassette so as to define a guide arrangement for each film unit during its advancement.
