It should work, but it would rotate VERY slow. You would also need some type of SLIT aperture, or all you would get is a blurr. I want to work on a 360 degree slit camera which has a 1mm vertical slit. So as the slit rotates in exposes the the film. The faster the rotation is like a faster shutter speed.
Search for slit cameras on google.com and you may learn a lot. mac >Hi all. >I have a question that I have been hesitant to post for fear it may seem >a bit foolish, but after thinking about it for a few months; I've >decided to ask now.
