The slides are filmed with an Arriflex 16, driven by an animation motor. Various optical effects are achieved with standard lenses and extension tubes. Creative use of the Arriflex’ functional advantages produces highly profes¬ sional results with a minimum budget . . . and virtually no outside services. Precise focus and hairline framing are easier with an Arriflex than with most other cameras. The cameraman sees a viewfinder image that is identical to the filmed image . . . identically focused, identically framed. This worldfamous mirror-reflex finder simplifies animation photography . . . time-lapse, stop-motion, extremeclose-up action, and zoom techniques as well.
