Original – The Multiplane camera effect using three planes. Similar effects were used in feature-length movies by Disney and other studios.
Reason
This short video clearly demonstrates the effect of depth attainable in an animated movie by using a Multiplane camera. The unique visual result is very difficult to convey in the article text or a still photo, thus high EV. (Created from my own artwork made for a 16 mm film I produced way back in 1974, thus free use. It would be impossible to use an example from a commercial source. Added to the article over a week ago, thus eligible.)

  • I don't see that as a valid reason for opposing the video itself. (Please tell me what public domain format should be used? I could then re-code from the original ProRes file...) --Janke | Talk 17:16, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • It matters. But for some reason, the FPC audience ignores it for video, yet would never feature a photograph in GIF format. VP9 is objectively better than VP8 and Theora. AV1 is upcoming, and should be even better. But if we are to feature video, it should use the highest quality free encoder at that time. Upload your ProRes file to Youtube, and have it take care of the VP9 encoding if you cannot make it work on your machine. - hahnchen 12:27, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • You need to take a look at the quality settings of your encoder. Both the bitrate and the quality is lower. Is that what you wanted? If you encode with VP9 output the filesize as VP8, the VP9 file will be higher quality. - hahnchen 13:37, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I used a web-based converter, with no choice of settings. Since this is a demonstration of the MP effect, and a tiny loss of detail (mostly theoretical, since the original is after all only SD quality) is immaterial, don't you agree? --Janke | Talk 16:50, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
