An optical shutter system and methods of establishing the relative positions of the elements of the system are disclosed for use in simulated animated displays, in enabling viewing an image where the viewer and image are moving relative to one another at a rapid rate, and in related applications. A series of images which may be progressively varied and carried on transparencies are associated with the optical shutter system. The shutter system includes a linear light source and a pellucid sheet and may include one or more reflective surfaces selectively oriented with respect to the transparencies on the side of the transparency opposite the viewer. When there is effective relative movement between the viewer and the transparencies, the light appears to sweep across each transparency, progressively illuminating linear adjacent segments of each image; thus the viewer perceives a motion picture composed of the progressively illuminated image segments.
