OP here, ask me anything! I've also written about the process previously:

These are really lovely.

Very cool images!

What lens are you using? Does it have to cover 135 format?

beautiful !

Woww so cool, thanks for sharing!

I like the photos, they look like architectural diagrams.

I suppose the subjects moved past the camera perpendicular to the lens direction, so you only see one side.

Are there any examples of what it looks like with a line scan camera when a subject goes past at an angle?

Also, for anyone setting up a tripod with a tripping hazard in public, do consider public liability insurance :)
