jan 1, 1948 - 1948 - Motion Control

Description:

This Technique was a huge step forward in filmmaking. Until this point in cinema history, successful combination of separately filmed elements was traditionally dependent on ensuring that there was no movement in any of the cameras used to film the various components. O.L. Dupy changed all this with the invention of the Dupy Duplicator which recorded the movement of a camera and reproduced it wherever and whenever different elements of a composite shot filmed, and effectively combined later.
