tvpirate05 1 Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Stay with me on this one... Back in the early-80s, it seems as if every TV show (esp. sitcoms) used this "stop-motion dissolve" effect. Here's some examples: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuzUgy-R1jY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4goqih_zsU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=453qzr5pCKM Is there a name for that process? The best I could come up with was stop-motion dissolve. I know that Calico Entertainment designed a lot of graphics similar to that, i.e. the Hour Magazine one. From what I've seen on Youtube, they were closely associated with Group W. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidnightJunkie 55 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 basically it's a camera zooming in on a still-store image, and is still used today-- i.e. when someone dies and they take a look back at his/her career and mark left on the world through still images. albeit it's used less frequently today; Not sure what the technical term for the process is called.

blueflag 0 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 It's one of the neater effects you can do with primitive (by today's standards) equipment. The _Family Ties_ open looks like a camera shooting art cards, but for the _Mr Belvedere_ open, all you'd need is a still store and a DVE that can do a zoom. That Hour Magazine open brought back some memories -- Scanimate-tastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
