| At
the time this picture was created Peter had developed a technique honed
by a half-decade working in film and TV and the background of which he
calls a "scene setter" which is a term used at the BBC in London by
programme designers he worked with, on series such as Captain Zep Space
Detective and The Two Ronnie Show, and which derives from multi plane
camera techniques, originated by Disney and others decades earlier, and
which the BBC took a step further by using linked multiple cameras
instead of various sheets of glass through which one camera filmed.
Called "CSO" technique (colour separated overlay) one camera is synched
so that a specified colour is unexposed film allowing for an element
filmed on a separate camera to be syncronised with it. Essentially, it
is a matte.The
background was created first, as it would have been if it had been a
piece for TV, shot on transparency so that it could be used again
and have different characters appear over it, like actors on a stage
walking in or off, and then the foreground character was painted
on. |
