Story

From the moment I saw this camera (nishika), I wanted to make my own, but without the need for film. First I tried using my phone, picking a few frames out the video, but its just not the same. I don't want boomerang effect. I wanted it to be more like the original 3D effect.

This is the famous Nishika n8000 with 4 lenses.

you can watch the video here:

python code

#here is my python code:  :))

import os
import time
import subprocess
import datetime
time.sleep(6)
commands = ['','','','']
p = ['','','','']
arr = ['','','','']
cameraindex = ['0','2','4','6']

for x in range(4):
    commands[x] = "sudo fswebcam -d /dev/video" + cameraindex[x] + " --no-banner" +" -r 640x480 "


for x in range(1):
    name = str(1000 + x)
    name = name[1:]
    print(name)
    for y in range(4):
        arr[y] = str(commands[y])+ "image" + str(y)+ "st" +name+ ".jpg"
        print(p)
        p[y] = subprocess.Popen(arr[y], shell= True);
    for y in range(4):
        p[y].wait()
    
    
    time.sleep(5)
ts = time.time()
ttime = "di3mg"+str(datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(ts).strftime('%y%m%d_%H%M%S'))
print(ttime)
os.system("mkdir "+ttime)
os.system("python mkgif.py")
os.system("sudo mv image* "+ttime)
os.system("sudo mv "+ttime+" rpifolder")
print("done :)")
