Commentary movie of `` multi-plane camera '' used to create 3D animation with 2D pictures
By arranging multiple cell images at different positions and moving them at different speeds, a camera for shooting cell animation that can create an effect that expresses three-dimensional depth that is originally difficult to express with 2D pictures '
Walt Disney's MultiPlane Camera (Filmed: Feb. 13, 1957)-YouTube
`` This is a different kind of drawing (drawing) '' `` It is a camera designed to make animation more realistic and fun '' `` Super Cartoon Camera '' and Walt Disney himself introduced the multi Design drawing of a plane camera.
A camera with a multi-plane (multiple planes). The part pointed to by Walt Disney is a plane, which is vertically arranged in four layers. About multi-plane cameras Walt Disney emphasizes that cameras are the future of the future, 'cameras need to evolve for the future.'
The shooting stand used for shooting cel animation at that time was like this. The background or cel is placed on the desk in front of the man, and the picture is taken with the camera suspended above the man's head.
First, it is the background.
On top of this, there is a 'cell drawing' that depicts moving characters on a transparent film.
Shooting with the cel and background fixed.
Since the movement of a character etc. is expressed in detail by a cell image, when expressing the movement of Mickey Mouse, for example, a large number of cell images are prepared as follows.
And turn the handle on the shooting stand twirl ...
Move the background slightly.
This makes it possible to express a Mickey Mouse walking around the forest.
If you change the size of Mickey Mouse to draw on the cell picture ...
You can even express the depth with the movement of Mickey Mouse as shown below.
However, if you zoom in / out the camera with the following background, for example ...
It was not possible to express a realistic three-dimensional impression or depth because it only shoots the camera close to or away from the two-dimensional picture.
That's why the background taken out of the shooting stand.
Against this background ...
In this way, objects are represented by distance and expressed ...
The 'multi-plane camera' shoots it with a camera. It is a camera that can express a three-dimensional effect in the entire picture by reproducing a more realistic perspective.
By changing the distance between the camera and the background, it is possible to create a realistic depth-of-field expression, such as blurring the object in front, and to express
When actually shooting, position the camera vertically ...
Take a picture of the background arranged in layers from above.
This is a real multi-plane camera.
This is what happens when you shoot the same moonlit country road with a multi-plane camera.
When zooming in on the farthest moon, trees, roads, houses, etc. in the foreground seem to come closer to the front more quickly than the mountains in the back, expressing realistic motion parallax. I understand this. It is hard to convey it with just a few still images, but it is obvious how the appearance changes when compared with a moving movie.
When people stand on the side of such a multi-plane camera, it looks like this and the size is quite huge.
The scene showing the forest at the beginning of the movie '
The background drawn on the glass plate is set on the multi-plane camera.
At the top is a camera ...
Each layer has a handle to move the background horizontally and vertically, so turn it to adjust the shooting position.
The forest scene actually shot can be seen a little in the following movie.

In addition, the scene where Snow White in the movie 'Snow White' wanders through the forest, shot using a multi-plane camera, can be seen in the following movie. Snow White moves to the front and back in one background, but by adding `` branches reflected in front of Snow White '' etc., it is not three-dimensional but a two-dimensional picture There is a realism as if Snow White is running around in the background.
