Abstract: Bulk rolls of film are pre-exposed with a latent image of artwork positioned within a film frame. Multiple frames, each having an artwork image portion and an opaque portion, are formed within an imaging filmstrip formed in a continuous loop. The continuous loop is rotated while a portion of the filmstrip is in contact with a portion of the bulk film for transferring the artwork image from the filmstrip to the bulk film. The bulk film is advanced while a light source exposes the film when in contact with the filmstrip. The pre-exposed bulk roll of film is punched at preselected sprocket holes corresponding to the filmstrip length for providing a reference sprocket hole within each length of film cut from the bulk roll for loading within a camera for double exposure of the film and placement of a second latent image in juxtaposition with the artwork.

Abstract: A fun camera provides precise registration of a latent image within a film frame with subsequent images placed on the filmstrip through exposure of the filmstrip within the camera. Rolls of film are pre-exposed with the latent image of artwork positioned within film frames. Masks are provided for insertion of the camera frame opening for shielding that portion of the film frame which contains the artwork latent image. The art work is placed onto the pre-exposed filmstrip using an imaging filmstrip formed in a continuous loop. The continuous loop having multiple artwork images thereon is rotated while a portion of the filmstrip is in contact with a portion of the bulk film for transferring the artwork image from the filmstrip to the bulk film. The bulk film is advanced while a light source exposes the film when in contact with the filmstrip.

Abstract: A method for exposing film with a latent image, wherein the latent image is in precise registration with a subsequent image placed onto the filmstrip. Pre-exposed artwork is positioned to enhance a finished photograph creating a pleasing and interesting photograph without special efforts by a user. An exposure frame opening of the camera has a shielded portion in registration with the pre-exposed filmstrip artwork portion of the filmstrip. To place the artwork in proper registration, an imaging filmstrip is formed having an image of the artwork. The artwork image is located using an alignment filmstrip formed using the camera itself. Subsequent exposure provides each frame of the pre-exposed filmstrip with images in pleasing juxtaposition.

Abstract: A method for pre-exposing a variety of latent images onto a filmstrip for use in a single use camera is presented wherein the latent images are in precise registration with subsequent images placed onto the filmstrip. Pre-exposed artwork is positioned to enhance a finished photograph creating a pleasing and interesting photograph without special efforts by a user. An exposure frame opening of the single use camera has a shielded portion in registration with the pre-exposed filmstrip artwork portion of the filmstrip. To place the artwork in proper registration, an imaging filmstrip is formed having an image of the artwork. The artwork image is located using an alignment filmstrip formed using the single use camera itself. The results providing for a subsequent exposure of each frame of the pre-exposed filmstrip having images in pleasing juxtaposition.
