Editing Eyemo (section)

==Background==
Designed and first manufactured in 1925, it was for many years the most compact 35&nbsp;mm motion picture film camera, having a 100-foot film capacity. Its small size and ruggedness made it a favorite choice for [[newsreel]] and combat cameramen (it was used throughout [[World War II]] and [[the Vietnam War]], the War Department providing special manuals for it), and also found use for fiction and [[Documentary film|documentary]] filmmakers whenever a portable, rugged, and inconspicuous camera was needed.

The Eyemo is still in use by some filmmakers. It is often used these days as a "crash-cam" for filming dangerous [[stunt]]s and explosions, and [[Shot (filming)|shots]] in which the camera must be dropped from a building or other elevation.

The 2000 film 'Requiem For A Dream' utilized an Eyemo camera with a Nikon lens mount for POV 'snorricam' shots where it was attached to the actors.
