Apparatus and methods for producing animated motion pictures
Abstract
Abstract A METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING PHOTOGRAPHIC ANIMATIONS WHEREIN THE ILLUSION OF MOVEMENT IN THE THREE PLANES OF SPACE, EITHER SIMULTANEOUSLY OR SELECTIVELY, MAY BE ACHIEVED BY A SINGLE SEQUENCE OF ANIMATED IMAGES. LIKE IMAGES IN EACH MEMBER OF THE SEQUENCE HAVE THE SAME PROPORTIONAL SIZE, BUT ARE PHOTOGRAPHED SEQUENTIALLY AT DIFFERENT POSITIONS IN THE THREE PLANES OF SPACE TO GENERATE THE ILLUSION OF MOVEMENT, THEREBY GUARANTEEING A NATURAL APPEARANCE, TRUE REFLECTIONS AND ACTUAL AND NATURAL SHADOWS WHILE REDUCING BOTH THE TIME AND EFFORT REQUIRED TO PRODUCE THE ANIMATION. TRANSPARENT SUPPORTING MEMBERS ARE USED FOR SUPPORTING THE IMAGES FROM A JIG AT DIFFERENT POSITIONS FOR PHOTOGRAPHING.
