Abstract
A motion picture film includes a plurality of frames, with each frame formed of a first and second sub-frames. Each of the first and second sub-frames encompasses an image of a separate one of first and second sequences of successive images independent of each other. The first and second sequences of images typically undergo display one prior to the other, by projecting the film twice in succession, the first time to display the images in the first sequence, the second time to display the images in the second sequence. The film also carries two separate sets of sound tracks, each corresponding to separate one of the first and second sequences of successive images for separate playback.
Claims11
A motion picture film having a plurality of frames, each frame comprising:
- a first sub-frame occupying a first portion of the frame, the first sub-frame encompassing an image of a first sequence of successive images;
- a second sub-frame occupying a second portion of the frame, the second sub-frame encompassing an image of a second sequence of successive images independent of the first sequence of successive images;
- wherein the image of the second sequence of successive images encompassed the second-sub frame of a frame has an orientation upside down and in reverse motion order relative to the image of the first sequence of successive images encompassed by the first sub-frame of said frame.
A method of exhibiting a motion film having a plurality of frames, each frame having first and second sub-frames occupying first and second portions of the frame, respectively, the first sub-frame and second sub-frames encompassing images of first and second sequences of successive images, respectively, with the first and second sequences independent of each other, the method, wherein the image of the second sequence of successive images encompassed the second-sub frame of a frame has an orientation upside down and in reverse motion order relative to the image of the first sequence of successive images encompassed by the first sub-frame of said frame, comprising the steps of :
- projecting the film a first time from a start end to a tail end. to only display in sequence images of the first sequence of successive images;
- and
- projecting the film a second time from the tail end to the start end with film emulsion upside down to only display images of the first second sequence of successive images.
A method of manufacturing a motion picture film having a plurality of frames, the method
- establishing with each frame an image of each of first and second sequences of successive images, the first and second sequences independent of each other;
- wherein the images of first and second sequences of images are arranged for display at different intervals;
- and
- wherein the image of the second sequence of successive images encompassed the second-sub frame of a frame has an orientation upside down and in reverse motion order relative to the image of the first sequence of successive images encompassed by the first sub-frame of said frame.
