ABSTRACT:
A composite cinematography system and method in which two identical images are projected towards two separate reflective screens, respectively, with a camera being disposed in the reflective path of one of the screens. The reflection from the other screen is directed into the reflective path and masking means are provided for masking selected complimentary portions of the images on both of the reflecting means to create a special effect. A lens system is provided which forms a reduced focused image of at least one of the images at a location along its respective reflective path and means are disposed in the latter reflective path approximate to the reduced focused image for superimposing an additional image onto the reduced focused image to form a composite image for photographing by the camera.
