Instructions:
1. Make a pinhole (I used an A&W root beer can)
2. Stick it in the lid of a film canister.
3. In a changing bag, load a few film canisters with small cylinders of film (I used a toothpick to count the sprocket holes; needed about 20 to make a cylinder with a small overlap)
4. Put the lid on the canister, and enjoy the fun!

Anamorphic?

A normal camera has the film plane flat and perpendicular to the optical axis. This camera has the film in a cylinder parallel to the optical axis, which creates a very odd field of view, and some even more odd distortion, that I attempt to describe here and here.
