Period
Unknown
Canada
Owned and used by Canadian film maker Bill Mason, who achieved international recognition for his wilderness and canoeing documentaries in the 1960s and 1970s.
Function
To provide registration, rotation and a backlit surface for drawing animation cels. May also be used to mount and move cels under the camera for photography. [Ref. 1]
Technical
The Bill Mason collection consists of typical cameras and other equipment in the 16 mm format widely used by documentary film makers in Canada in this period. A skilled and experienced animator, Bill Mason prepared all the animation sequences in his films. The animation disc is a standard tool that can be used both in drawing and photographing “cels,” the transparent sheets of cellulose acetate on which successive scene movements are depicted. This disc is made of machined cast-aluminum with a plate-glass window on which a sheet of paper has been taped to provided translucency when backlit. It is likely that originally the window was made of frosted glass, which after breaking was replaced by clear glass. A brass peg bar is inserted into one of two slots on the disc. [Ref. 1]
