Miniature projection
Miniature projection describes an animation process developed by the animation pioneer Willis O'Brien , in which a small rear projection is used, individual images, in order to incorporate real game scenes into miniaturized artificial scene models, paintings, mirrors or photos. It was patented in 1933 and was first seen in the movie King Kong and the White Woman . Although producer Merian C. Cooper claimed again and again later that the idea of miniature projection came about at his suggestion, O'Brien had already started testing the process in short and small films around 1928.
