GLOWING down motion to eight
- times less than natural speed. turn
ing houses upside down and seeing
man shake hands with himself are all
tricks of the magic camera with
which any fan is familiar.
The ingenuity of the photographer
extends, however, far beyond these
elementary devices. In fact. many of
the most commonplace effects shown
on the screen are achieved only after
extensive experimenting.
Studio inventors have discovered,
for example. that beautiful effects
can be gotten by covering the camera
lens with various qualities of thin
fabrics. Soft silveTy focuses on the
players faces. edges appearing to
melt away to the margin OF the
screen, are both results of the use OF
gauzy substances.
AS far back as the days when Grif-
fifth was filming Intolerance" tricks
were employed. The great director
secured some Of his most impressive
panoramas by the use of miniature
sets with animated tin mannikins for
his actors.
