The Multi-Plane camera
I am posting this topic in response to comments made in Friday Challenge 945. With reference to Ben's multiplane camera and Steve's comment I thought I would pass on this short film. I learned about the multiplane camera over 50 years ago as I had always been fascinated by animation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdHTlUGN1zw Disney used this kind of camera when making his feature length films such as Pinocchio, Fantasia, Bambi, Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Sleeping Beauty and The Jungle Book. It was incredibly expensive to use and caused quite a few financial problems for Disney. One of the reasons it was so expensive to use was the sizes of the artwork required which meant that the artists had to make animation cells much larger than they had been used to with straight 2D animation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplane_camera for more info _________________ Always remember that you are unique - just like everyone else. |

Re: The Multi-Plane camera
Yes I knew about Disney's multiplane camera and have seen all sorts of illustrations of how it worked and the principles involved, but I had never seen film of the actual monster itself in action. Thanks Gordon - fascinating. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |
