This is about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanimate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanimate an analog video synth.
I had hoped that it was about a mechanical optical printer that could composite and project multiple film images.
The closest thing I can think of was a multihead, aerial-image optical printer built by Ub Iwerks for Disney.
If anyone has knowledge of such devices I love to hear it. Apparently it could composite text, animation and live images.

- seg_lol 5y agoThere is an amazing 100m lecture from Douglas Trumbull linked from above, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBaZQojd1_s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBaZQojd1_s This is super cool, but not the optical setup I thinking of.
