In the 1960s, Disney discovered and used an incredible “greenscreen” technique to film the Mary Poppins actors in an animated scene, perfectly capturing flowing semi-transparent clothes and motion blur and sharp animated characters. They then lost the tech.

Corridor Crew found out about it, someone figured out how to replicate it, and they worked to demonstrate it. And it’s fucking amazing.

Update Nov 1, 2016: I first posted this series of tweets as a Storify but the embed UI was so bad I couldn’t leave it here. I’m going to rewrite this as a blog post once I have time to digest it some more. In the meantime you can read An accounting of The Acountant on Storify.
