glass shot

Around this time, another technique known as the glass shot was also being used.

Dawn combined this technique with the "glass shot."

The elaborate glass shot of the house from 'Planet of Giants'.

The first glass shots are credited to Edgar Rogers.

Alan Bell is proudest of his development of a new special effects process of doing 'glass shots'.

A classic example of a glass shot is the approach to Ashley Wilkes' plantation in Gone with the Wind.

However, the cavity in the second glass shot, the one with the new ammo, was virtually the same as the one without the glass in front of it.

The glass shot was made by painting details on a piece of glass which was then combined with live action footage to create the appearance of elaborate sets.

The main difference between the glass shot and the matte shot is that with a glass shot, all filming is done with a single exposure of film.

By creating the matte from an image directly from the film, it became incredibly easy to paint an image with proper respect to scale and perspective (the main flaw of the glass shot).

The 'glass shot' was originally painted on glass - and often still is - so that it fills only part of the frame, the rest of which is occupied by a built set and/or action.

Glass shots are made by positioning a large pane of glass so that it fills the camera frame, and is far enough away to be held in focus along with the background visible through it.

Venous blood from healthy human volunteers aged between 18 and 70 was collected with EDTA or glass shot beads (Scientific Furnishings, Macclesfield, England) to remove platelets by defibrination.

Dawn's first film Missions of California made extensive use of the glass shot, in which certain things are painted on a piece of glass and placed in between the camera and the live action.

A glass shot, in cinematic tradition, consists of erecting a tower with a painting done on glass, high in the studio, then filming through it, thus giving the illusion that the glass painting is part of the picture.

But the effects described in this chapter depend essentially on the camera, projector and optical printer which, as we've seen, is basically a combination of these), and the 'glass shot', or matte painting, is only a partial exception.

With the advent of rear and then front projection and more elaborate types of matte shot (eg travelling matte), the glass shot and the action might conveniently be shot in different places at different times.

Bottle or glass Shots - Hard alcohol in small shot glass On the Rocks - Hard alcohol in a bigger glass with ice Straight Up - Used when ordering a hard alcohol.

Technically the production had to be able to cater for precisely lined-up inlay shots, half-silvered mirror shots, glass shots and back-projections to overcome the great hurdle of having the travellers and the 'giants' in the same shots.

A notably successful example of a glass shot (see page 44) appears in the Powell/Pressburger version of Rumer Godden's 1938 novel,Black Narcissus (1947), which centred on a small group of nuns in the Indian Himalayas.

Dawn had seamlessly woven glass shots into many of his films: such as the crumbling California Missions in the movie Missions of California, and used the glass shot to revolutionize the in-camera matte.
