Abstract: Motion-picture and television frequently require productions formed by synchronization of a number of visual images. The view camera and frame-cut methods of coordinating arrested motion are briefly described, and the latter is also applied to set construction. There are drafting methods for translating an art director's sketch into a three-dimensional full or scale-size set construction in forced or natural perspective. The determination of miniature setups, coordinating location photographs with set dimension, and assuring accurate perspective interlock of rear-projection plates to foreground construction is discussed. Geometric methods are also described for determining aspects of the camera station point when not recorded by the cameraman at the time of original exposure.
