A small camera sensor on the left hand side of the
camera's body is set up to capture the videographer's
hand as he/she cranks an imaginary arm. Simulating the
first film cameras, the crank speed would regulate how
fast the picture is captured. Crank slowly and you get
fast-motion pictures.
Crank quickly and you can get
slow-mo. Simple motion tracking and a wide-angle lens
is all that is required. A display on the LCD screen would
show you how over/under your speed is. Software control
would also allow for freewheeling and speed regulation
to make changes in speed smooth. For those who don't
understand the physics of film cameras, a reverse speed
mode would allow you to crank slowly for slow mo and
fast for fast motion capture.

The camera should be concealed in the supporting hand. |

Why can't the camera have a real crank? |

Sounds like a wind-up to us. |

[hippo] because there's no room with the LCD screen
sticking out on modern digicams.

The camera sensor might be located on the end of
the LCD screen. |
