ABSTRACT:
A system and method for producing an animated motion picture in which the scene contents for the next succeeding frame in a plurality of sequential picture frames may be aligned with respect to the previous frame scene content prior to the photographic recording of the next succeeding frame utilizing a scene registration layout transparency projection having indicia thereon indicating each of the positions of at least the character objects and the scenic objects for each of the frame contents comprising the animated motion picture scene to provide a projection of the complete scene layout and sequential character object movement for a predetermined animated motion picture scene format. The scene registration layout projection is projected onto the stage upon which the scene is to occur between the photographic recording of each of the frames. The character objects utilizable in this system comprise at least substantially two dimensional character objects, such as cartoon characters, which are three dimensionally variable in position and which may be photographed in a single exposure with real three dimensional objects. The sequential frames are photographed with a camera through a movable platen which enables the provison of special visual effects in the resulting animated motion picture.
