Here are the pictures of my camera so far.

The container, made out of an old filter

Inside painted black to keep it light proof

This is what holds the film in place, wraped around the stopper in the middle

Hi Aidan,
You might find this of interest........The first great experimental film in Winnipeg was released in 1980 by Ed Ackerman and Greg Zbitnew. Ed and Greg were considered to be troublemakers in their day. In 1979 when the W.F.G. announced that they would be purchasing a photocopier instead of filmmaking equipment, most members were delighted. Not Ed and Greg. They turned their frustration into ingenuity. The two filmmkaers turned the photocopier into a piece of filmmaking equipment. They emerged from the tests with a finished film, 5 Cents a Copy and a broken photocopier. The film was scored by Jon Krocker, who went on to make his own weirdly wonderful techno-skidoo soundtrack heavy film 38 Jansky Units in 1982.
