Some Special Photographic Effects Used in Motion-Picture Production

This paper describes four types of special photographic effects used in motion-picture production: (a) the matte shot combines live action and a painting into one scene; (b) the composite matte shot employs the matte shot plus the combination of two or more action scenes; (c) the glass shot is a method of photographing the live action and the painting simultaneously; (d) the traveling matte shot combines foreground action, which has been photographed against a monochromatic backing, with any desired background.
