motion picture camera

A motion picture camera is a device that records sequences of images rapidly in succession to create the illusion of movement when played back. It works by exposing film or digital sensors to light through a lens, capturing each frame. When these frames are shown quickly, typically 24 frames per second, our eyes perceive continuous motion. Modern cameras can record in high resolution and various formats, allowing for detailed and dynamic storytelling. Essentially, it is an essential tool in filmmaking that transforms visual ideas into a series of images that come alive on screen.
