<p>A system for producing virtual camera motion in a motion picture medium in which an array of cameras (10) is deployed along a preselected path with each camera (10) focused on a common scene (12). Each camera (10) is triggered simultaneously to record a still image of the common scene (12), and the images are transferred from the cameras (10) in a preselected order along the path onto a sequence of frames in the motion picture medium such as motion picture film (20) of video tape. Because each frame shows the common scene (12) from a different viewpoint, placing the frames in sequence gives the illusion that one camera (10) has moved around a frozen scene (i.e., virtual camera motion). In another embodiment, a two-dimensional array (1100) of video cameras (1102) is employed. Each camera (1102) synchronously captures a serie of images in rapid succession over time. The resulting array of images can be combined in any order to create motion pictures having a combination of virtual camera motion and time-sequence images.</p> |
