Scene Sync Scene Sync was a specialised form of motion control used to make the " Doctor Who " serial , " Meglos " . It somewhat solved a problem common to CSO work by slaving the camera trained on the model shot to the camera used to film the actors against a blue screen . This meant that the actors stayed in the same position relative to the background , adding to the overall believability of the composited shot . Overview . In the CSO shots typical of " Doctor Who " up to this point , two different camera operators were required to accomplish a final shot . One had a camera pointed at a background , while the other had a camera trained on actors . It was laborious in the extreme to ensure that the two cameras were working in harmony . Even the slightest lens movement could make the actors appear to " slide " across the background , or even disappear behind a portion of the model shot . The difficulties of using CSO can plainly be seen in a serial like " Underworld " , or even in part four of " Robot " . Scene Sync attempted to solve these problems by eliminating the second camera operator . However , it introduced a new problem . Because the model ' s camera was invariably smaller — and indeed focused on a smaller area — the camera operator could easily make movements that would make the smaller camera lose its subject . If a model was at 1 / 10th scale , for instance , then the camera on the model could only move 1 centimetre for ever every decimetre that the actors ' camera moved . Scene Sync technology , however , was never developed far enough that the operator could just type in a scale for the lower camera . Instead , the operator had to manually fiddle with a dial until the two cameras " more or less " moved together properly . Still , " Meglos " proved the technology could work to an acceptable standard , and the BBC used it in a few other , non - " Doctor Who " projects . Scene Sync was never used again on " Doctor Who " , and it quietly faded away from all use on the BBC . By the mid - 1980s , CSO itself was being phased out as a technology used by drama series , meaning that there wasn ' t really a need for this kind of motion control technology .
