Abstract
A technique for producing an animated film whose cartoon characters and their movements are impersonated by living actors. The scenes of the film are shot by a blue-screen matte cinemaphotography system adapted to exclude blue surfaces from the camera filming the cartoon character. The cartoon character seen by this camera is created by a living actor enveloped head-to-toe in a blue-dyed body suit that renders the actor invisible to the camera. Painted on the front and rear surfaces of the body suit in colors other than blue is a drawing of the cartoon character, animation being imparted thereto in real time by the actor's movements.
