Film record

Abstract

Abstract A stationary film record frame having a plurality of sequentially displayable images contained in the frame area. The images preferably have the same orientation with respect to each other so that when the stationary film record frame is inserted in a projection means therefor which has been arranged to sequentially display the recorded images, a plurality of images may sequentially be displayed from the film record in a stationary position thereof. A plural lens array, with the number of lenses corresponding to the number of displayable images recorded on the frame, is provided, which, in conjunction with a rotatable shutter selectively displays the recorded images in sequential fashion. Means are provided, such as a conical wedge having a predetermined slope, for simultaneously varying the magnification of the plurality of lenses while maintaining the registration of each of the plurality of selectively displayable images with respect to a display surface for the selected single image. Such a stationary film record frame may be produced by a removable attachment for a camera which attachment contains a plural lens array and a controllable rotatable shutter which cooperates with the internal shutter of the camera so as to selectively expose the plurality of lenses one at a time while the camera shutter is open, each of the lenses being associated withh a particular image record area on the stationary film record frame upon which the plurality of images is being recorded. The stationary film record frame may also be produced by arranging a plurality of images on a mounting surface and simultaneously photographing the plurality of images with a camera to expose a single film record frame or, if desired, a movie film having a plurality of sequentially recorded frames each containing a sequential image may be threaded so as to expose a preselected assortment such as every tenth frame, of the sequential images to a camera which simultaneously photographs the exposed plurality of images to provide the plurality of sequentially displayable images on a single stationary film record frame.
