Integral Holography

These holograms were made of sequential frames of motion picture film imaged on an optical table through a large cylindrical lens onto the holographic recording plane.The filmed images were recorded with a Mitchell 35mm motion picture camera while the subject was on a rotating platform. A 360-degree integral hologram can comprise about 2000 individual holograms.

 

Not apparent in the photographs below, the virtual images of the subjects float about 8" behind the holograms. When the hologram is rotated the viewer is not aware of the "lines" visible in the photographs below. 

 

Between the 1970s and the 1990s, I made over fifty integral holograms in 100-degree, 120-degree, and 360-degree format on holographic film and on 4"x5" and 8"x10" holographic glass plates.

integram hologram of the classical guitarist Dimitri recorded on 8" x 10" holographic glass plate
Integral hologram of Gary Fisher performing a kata. The hologram was recorded on a 8"x10" glass plate. Subjects with a large dynamic range are difficult subjects for this type of holography as evidenced by the uneven brightness of the image
120-degree integral hologram recorded with film made in 1978
This is a 90-degree segment of a 360-degree integral hologram of a golden eagle taxidermy specimen. In 1984 a 30" segment of one version of the hologram, together with a laser transmission hologram, and a light-beam projection were shown in Images in Time and Space, a holography exhibition, at the Museum of Science and Technology in Los Angeles.
