Abstract
An account is given of the various types of photography used in the feature production “Topper.” Among the shots discussed are a split screen against a projected background, demonstrating the feasibility of such treatment. Other effects are: multiple exposures, animated split screen, animated travelling mattes, straight animation, intricate matching of action, and a new process of subtractive matting. A statement is included on the precautions taken to eliminate weave between the production shots taken with Mitchell cameras and the duping. which was done on Bell & Howell machines. The paper is illustrated with various selections from the picture, made by the processes described.
