ABSTRACT:
A method and an apparatus for displaying motion pictures. In one embodiment, a substantially transparent and faceted cylindrical body includes a series of motion picture images imprinted on each one of the facets of the cylindrical body. When the cylindrical body is rotated about the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical body, the images on the opposite side of the cylindrical body to a viewer are observed through the interior of the cylindrical body through the facets of the cylindrical body near the viewer. When the cylindrical body is rotated about its longitudinal axis, the facets of the cylindrical body wipe across in front of the images behind the facets on the opposite side of the cylindrical body such that each image is dissolved into a neighboring or an adjacent one of the series of motion picture images to produce an animated effect.
