Kodak SPECIAL

MULTIPLE EXPOSURE
THE winding-back feature of the
Cine-Kodak Special permits
the
obtaining of a wide range of effects
by exposing
the same strip of film
two or more times. While it is
impossible
to enumerate all the
possibilities in this field, a few of
the more easily made stunts are:
A person can appear in a scene
any number
of times. No masks
are used,
but a black background
must be employed
to prevent more
than one image' 'piling up" on any
section
of the scene.
People can be dwarfed by using
black backgrounds. A man could
appear
to stand next to a pack of
cigarets and will look no larg er
than Tom Thumb, with the film
exposed once
with the camera
close
to the cigarets and again with
the camera far away from the man.
Since
it is difficult to obtain black
backgrounds
of sufficient size to
fill the field for the latter shot, a
good
alternative is to place a piece
of black paper with a hole cut in it
about one or two feet in front of
the camera lens. Byusing the reflex
finder,
it can be seen whether the
hole is of the correct size so that
the paper will overlap the black
background behind the subject.

telescoping into the building.
