🔔 FRONT PROJECTION for $80: The film technique used by Kubrick in 2001 at home
WHAT IS THE FRONT PROJECTION TECHNIQUE IN FILM?
A front projection effect is an in-camera visual effects process in film production for combining foreground performance with pre-filmed background footage. In contrast to rear projection, which projects footage onto a screen from behind the performers, front projection projects the pre-filmed material over the performers and onto a highly reflective background surface.
