Tom Selleck Academy Awards 1988

#1 Post by Jeffrey »

I found this nice video on youtube from the Acedemy Awards in 1988, Tom Selleck with Mickey Mouse. Very funny :)

Looked like TS had his Navy haircut. The Awards must have been shortly after they filmed "Resolutions"........

Think you're right about that one. I'm wondering how they did this kind of special effects (with donald Duck between the crowd, and Mickey walking over the stage) in 1988...

They probably did it the same way it was done in 1945 when they made the movie Anchors Aweigh where Gene Kelly dances with the cartoon characters Tom & Jerry.

Here's a quote from Wikipedia on how live characters were mixed with animation on film:

Originally, animation was combined with live action in several ways, sometimes as simply as double-printing two negatives onto the same release print. More sophisticated techniques used optical printers or aerial image animation cameras, which enabled more exact positioning, and better interaction of actors and animated characters. Often, every frame of the live action film was traced by rotoscoping, so that the animator could add his drawing in the exact position.

In the penguin sequence in Mary Poppins, they filmed the live action part first, having the actors sitting in front of a painted background. Then the penguins were added, probably by using cel overlay.
