George Grimaldis shares Edvard Munch’s own film recordings (by themunchmuseum)
It was quite a surprise when a moving picture camera was brought to the Munch Museum several years ago. It was a so called Pathé-Baby with a 9.5 mm film cassette and a projector in a specially made traveler’s case. The advanced traveler’s camera was said to have belonged to Edvard Munch, a fact confirmed by a viewing of the four accompanying films, which had originally been developed at Nerlien’s in Oslo.
One of the cassette films was taken in Dresden, the other three in Oslo and Aker. All of the film appears to have been taken during the summer of 1927.

John Whitney “Catalog” 1961 (by crystalsculpture2)
This is John Whitney’s demo reel of work that he created with his analog computer/film camera magic machine he built from a WWII anti-aircraft gun sight. Also, Whitney and the techniques he developed with this machine were what inspired Douglas Trumbull (special fx wizard) to use the slit scan technique on 2001: A Space Odyssey
