| Abstract: |
A photographic process is provided for transferring an animation sketch or the like from paper onto a transparent cell for use in making animated motion pictures and the like. The animation sketch on paper is photographed to produce a negative of the sketch which is then used as a mask during exposure of a transparent cell bearing a light-sensitive dye film of selected color. Masked portions of the dye film are removed from the cell leaving the exposed cured portions defining a replica of the animation sketch to form a so-called cartoon cell. The thus-formed cartoon cell is backed-up with color as required and composited with other cells having other sketches transferred thereto to form an animation scene.
