System for producing time-independent virtual camera movement in motion pictures

A system for performing a scene of a motion picture, so that said motion picture having a time base measured in frames per second, comprising: a set geometrically ordered cameras (10, 1102), distributed along a substantially continuous curve such that each camera is focused on a common scene; means (22) for driving repeatedly each of said chambers (10, 1102) to capture a respective series of images of the scene over time such that said cameras capture respective images simultaneously with one other; means for transferring said captured images to a storage device random access; means for electronically execute an approach or sweep or tilting selected ones of said captured images; means for creating a motion picture in which said selected images, subject to an approximation, sweep or inclination, seen in sequence to create the illusion of progressive camera movement along the curve; and wherein each successive image in said motion picture is captured by a different camera (10, 1102).
