make a movie camera?

Question by Meep: make a movie camera?
How do you make a movie camera out of cardboard? It should open on the side and a film strip can come out.

Do you mean a real, working film camera? Out of cardboard? It would never work. The cardboard could never be put together tightly enough to keep out light, which would expose the film before it should be. You also need a shutter assembly, so the film only gets exposed as it should. Plus heavy glass lens, which cannot be supported on a cardboard frame.

If you mean a prop camera in which old film comes out, thats easy.

Take two cardboard boxes, (shoeboxes or tissue boxes), two paper towel cardboard tubes, and small coffee can or similar for the lens. Then use some imagination and slap that bad boy together.
