Ulysse
Description
The process relied on two-, three- or even four-color selections being superimposed on the screen. On the positive, two, three or four images of reduced dimensions were printed on a single frame with a longitudinal and lateral distance corresponding to the distance between the axes of the illumination systems, which could, therefore, be adjusted individually. For projection, a regular black-and-white projector could be used, however, it had to be modified by adding additional guiding windows and lenses. During filming, multiple lenses were used to record the different color separations.
