Abstract
Process photography, which is the broad classification given to all branches of special and trick cinematography, plays an important part in making today's motion picture. Many articles have appeared relating to this subject, but, unfortunately, most of them have been devoted only to a discussion of the importance of this branch of photography, and very few writers have divulged any of the details of the methods employed. This paper sets forth in general the underlying procedure in the various branches of the art, and treats many phases thereof in sufficient detail to be fully informative. The branches of process photography disclosed include: transitional effects, such as dissolves and wipes; matte shots; simple and intricate multiple exposures; composites and montages; animated titles and presentation effects; combined drawing and actual photography; optical trick printers and cameras; miniature projection background process; problems in making dupe negatives by projection, dodging, etc. Important steps are described and illustrated, and special devices are shown and their essential functions and operation described.
