ABSTRACT:
The present invention comprises a novel composite process photography system and method. A negative lens or a curved mirror is used to produce a miniature virtual image of a scene a short distance from a camera. The camera focusses on the virtual images. Props, models, and pictures are superimposed with the virtual image by positioning them at a distance equal to the distance of the virtual image from the camera and using beam splitters to allow the camera simultaneously view the props and the virtual image. In one embodiment of the invention, the virtual image is formed inside a compact enclosure which also contains beam splitters, lighting means, and supports for the mounting of props, photographs, and models, creating in essence a compact special effects studio in a box.
