Optical synthesis

Optical synthesis(Like this く う consequence), plural film optically.

digital synthesis becomes main current, the synthesis in the movie exclusively depended on this technique, but presently it was pushed in digital synthesis, almost became unable to use.

Optical printer

The equipment and material which is called the "optical printer" is used in optical synthesis.

The optical printer is the machine in order to copy the film in the film, it is used even to for example drawing up the positive for screening from the negative film. As for the optical printer which is used in such simple use, the film ahead the copy original film copy respectively at a time 1 relatively is something of simple structure.

As for the optical printer which is used in optical synthesis, plural this the copy original film they are special ones which it tries to be able apply. From those which do basic optical synthesis such as overlap and wipe, quarrying out the plural materials with the mask, to complicated ones which it synthesizes, various ones existed. If it becomes something where the synthesis which is required is complicated quantity of extent and the copy original film which become increases. In order to do the synthesis which it stabilizes, quite high precision was required by the machine itself and by operation, because also method and constitution of making the film which becomes the synthetic material in addition depending upon the contents of synthesis differ, serious craftsman art was required.

• Bean knowledge

『 ultra seven ' 11th story demon" with, wild star person in the flesh. This probably represents from the above-mentioned function of the optical printer for optical synthesis. At that time because as for still digital synthesis and the like it does not exist, ' ultra seven ' with, the optical printer it is the expectation which was used as the daily instrument in regard to work production.
