Talk:Pinscreen animation

message: What the pinscreen technique does is to make realistic 3D-pictures. But in the modern age it is possible to do this in a much better and faster way, and with better results, even if a different technique is used.
Back then they didn't have all the modern tools we have today. Now we can make these 3-D pictures by printing them out with a 3D printer, stereolithography, 3DP or Selective laser sintering or whatever tool is best suited. Some of these machines could print out a number of 3D images each day. Each of these images can be based on real objects which is 3D scanned before uploaded to a computer, which then printes them out the way they want it to be. Or they can be created entirely on a computer without needing to be real objects first. The color is already programmed in the computers, and the printed objects can be colored by hand, by using tools as liquid ink-jet printers or by combining both techniques.
One and one 3D picture are printed out, colored and then taken a picture of by the movie makers. Once this is done, the color can be flushed away and the platic melted and used over again for other 3D pictures in the same movie.
If an object on the image are supposed to be surrounded by light, this can by added on the computer after the picture is taken, or small holes can be drilled in the 3D picture and optical fibers inserted.
For real complicated scenes, bluescreen would be handy. First some 3D pictures where only the objects foreground are present are made, the rest of the picture is just blue (as in bluescreen). Then other 3D pictures of objects in the background and between are printed out, also they surrounded by bluescreen. When the whole scene is done, all the objects on the different images are being fused together on the same image by using a computer, and a complicated scene is complete.
As with stop-motion, this would be very time consuming and cost a lot of money, but it is fully possible to make a movie like this by using the tolls which are already availble today. And as mentioned, it would be very much faster to produce a 3D image movie this way then by using the traditional pinscreen technique, and with better results. Because both techniques have the same goal; to create 3D images. Of course it does not motter how it is done, it is the results that counts. But time, money and quality are very dominating elements in the movie industry.

message: There are many techniques available for creating 3D effects in animation. The pin screen is important because it has produced some really interesting results. --Dhodges 14:08, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Image copyright problem with Image:Imprints1.jpg 

message: By far the most famous use of Pin Screen technique must have been with Orson Welles' film of Kafka's novel "The Trial". Movie begins with a brief but very memorable Pin Screen segment, which tells the story of the man who comes to the Castle looking for Jusice and is denied entry. He waits outside the doors for all his life, barred from entry by a giant guard. As he is about to die, he asks the guard: "Why is that for all this time, so many years, I have never seen anyone else come here to ask for Justice?". The guard replies: "Why, because this door was built for you, and now that you are going to die, I am going to shut it - forever". There is a fadeout, and then the story of Joseph K begins. I STILL get goosebumps whenever I remember it. 
I will go about adding this to the page (not the goosebumbs bit). Are there no other important instances of Pin Screen use.?It was a complete winner in "The Trial"?  Myles325a (talk) 11:31, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

message: "Due to Cecile Starr (friend of Alexeieff and Parker, and distributor of their work in the US) most insisting intervention talking to Norman McLaren that the opportunity should not be missed to preserve Alexeïeff's knowledge, this demonstration was filmed". "Most insisting intervention talking that the opportunity"? Can someone rework this sentence into less of an obscure labyrinth, please? Kumagoro-42 14:51, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
