Manufacturin own motion film camera

Post by Pixelation5 »

Would developing a motion film camera be hard to do? I have an idea that all I need to do is create a box that can automaticly role film at a certain rate and allow correct exposure to the film and theres my camera.

A box that houses the role of film, an electric motor for the film wheel, and a solenoid to generate a pulsing electromagnetic field for the shutter.
The logic controller can be programmed with monolith instruction for each output bridge. The motor given a constant flow of power (for FPS), and solenoid given a pulse of power (from capactor to achieve very fast shutter speed) at an interval synched with the position of the film. On/Off by toggling a switch that is inline between the logic controller and power source. The only problem I face is the shutter becoming out of synch with the film. If I think hard enough I could find a solution, but I may think harder if I consider my idea on a more serious level.
Would this simple camera be effective?

It would be allot cheaper spending $6k on a profesionally manufactured one.

Probably not really all that hard, just costly. However if you can invent one that competes with those that are out there, more power to you. That's free enterprise, and is what helps consumers, and keeps prices down..:)
