Animation camera
incorporates many special features and is capable of greater degree of accuracy
in film registration than a normal motion picture camera, even one fitted with registration pins. To ensure optimum flat registration
for multiple exposures with the camera running
either forward or in reverse, animation cameras are usually fitted with ` bell and howell’ shuttle gate type movements which
incorporates permanently fixed pilot pins of
exceptional accuracy. The film is advanced from
one frame to the next by being lifted off the pilot pins, moved along and lowered again onto the
pins. The in short shutter may be adjusted automatically over a period of 6-128
frames either for a fade or for a dissolve. Focus is
adjusted automatically. View finding [viewfinder]
is rack over by a ground glass viewing screen and
viewfinder optical system. The ground glass is accurately marked to match the film aperture. The rear
pressure plate is replaced by a rotoscope.
