1.2.4.5 SINGLE FRAME CAMERAS

Single frame cameras are used primarily for time-lapse and animation applications. The 16mm Bolex camera has good registration for animation but it can't expose in reverse mode, so it's kind of limited. High end equipment such as the ancient Bell & Howell (Acme) and Mitchell models have good registration but each have different weaknesses besides costing a small fortune to buy. All I can say is thank God for film recorders! (and computer animation).

If you would like to see the original A.I.A. 35mm animation cameras, click here. This was the last animation camera ever designed from the ground up for single frame work.
