This
is what
transports
the film
to the film
gate and
operates
the shutter
and takes
up the film
from the
supply reel.
Cameras
require
energy to
operate,
kinetic,
electric,
any controllable
speed source.
In the beginning,
there was
the hand
crank. That
limited
filmmaking
to guys
with forearms
like Popeye.
It wasn't
too long
before some
advances
were made.
