Patent Images

1. A motion picture made by a process comprising the steps of:

  • providing an array of cameras deployed along a preselected path with each camera focused on a common scene;

    triggering each of the cameras to substantially simultaneously record a still image of the scene;

    transferring the still images in a preselected order along the path into a time-sequence of frames; and

    outputting the time-sequence of frames in a motion picture medium, thereby creating the illusion that a single motion picture camera has moved along the path.
