How does a smartphone Camera work? The science behind digital cameras

Cameras are everywhere! There are probably 2 or even 3 cameras in your pocket right now. But how do they work and how can they take incredibly detailed pictures? This video will go into the fundamental science behind digital cameras. It explores how eyes work, the system of a smartphone camera, how photodiodes function, eye-based color theory, and frequency sensitivity.

The animation was done entirely using 6 main scenes in Blender. The camera was dissected from a 16Megapixel camera and then scanned and modeled. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to share!
Enjoy,
Teddy T.
