More Optical Composites.. Cira 1985 – 1992





Variations on the theme of last post.. I couldn’t quite get perfect comps using this optical process, could have been my dodgy carpeted bedroom – makes for a bad studio – or that I was using an on-camera flash head – hand held – to expose the lith film in the laundry, may have all had something to do with the misalignment of the two elements. Still, I managed.. 

But as I said in the last post, Photoshop came out and I had to learn a whole new world.
Building the model kits was half the fun of course!

    Hi Wayne,
    Very cool I love those old school techniques, I don’t have much knowledge of them but I am so impressed how film makers pulled those shots off way back when.
    Oh I think we have a mutual friend? David Scott, speaks very highly of you, but I never got to meet you when I finally got to Emerald, as you had left.

    Merry Christmas,

    Sheld

    Thanks so much for posting this. It’s really good to see how compositors did it back in the day.

    Shot looks good too.
