jan 1, 1968 - 1968 - Front Projection

Description:

Front Projection is a method of simultaneously filming performers in a studio and pre-filmed background images which are projected on to a highly reflective backdrop from in front. This technique was being used as early as the 30's, but it wasn't until the 50's that interest in the method led to a number of practical systems. The film 2001: A Space Odyssey marked its first use in a major feature film.
