Disney Multiplane episode

[@monteceitomoocher]

Wonderful stuff, that piece of kit must've needed a whole team of people to drive it, all of those classics have that handmade quality that's sadly lacking today, even with our super technology it can never be recreated, all of those people from the artists to the film technicians put a little bit of themselves into their work, great age, and privileged to have been a child to seen them.

I totally agree with you here! Thanks for the great comment!

Some time ago, I've tried to make similar multiplane thing, but of course, a lot smaller and simpler, it was horizontally oriented, filmed couple of shots with it, but some time later I've had to disassemble it. But I want to make another one, better and bigger, with some FG minaiture support, and rear projection option

[@heyjimr]

Can you send me a clip of it?

[@vpupkoff]

@@heyjimr I don't seem to have any photos of it left as far as I remember, however I have the animation results, I will send a link to YT video later today.

[@vpupkoff]

@@heyjimr seems that youtube is hiding links for some purpose.... I cannot see my reply anywhere.... here's edited link for animation test reels /watch?v=oY_Pv4L3V3A

How did they get all the planes in focus at the same time? Fascinating video by the way.

[@heyjimr]

Depends on the lense they used. They didn't want everything in focus because they wanted closer objects slightly out of focus. Remember this was when everything was changed frame by frame.

The Old Mill was where Disney showed us special effect animation to help tell the story.

I just want to know the lens because I am building a DIY multilane further back planes seem small

[@heyjimr]

Each panel of glass is the same size. The lens was probably a Zoom lens since the glass planes are stationary. Other animation stands, the camera would move up and down. Moving the camera would run into the first glass plane below. Good luck with your camera set up!
