But actors playing multiple roles in a film is one thing. Having them share the screen and interact with each other is another matter altogether. <\/p>\n<p>Over time, numerous techniques have been used to pull off the illusion of twins, clones, and duplicates. Some films are lucky enough to have actual twins at their disposal. Others simply rely on body doubles, avoiding the need for visual effects entirely. For everyone else, until the advent of computer-generated effects, pulling off a \u201cdoubling\u201d was a matter of editing. And the oldest and most effective trick in the book was the split-screen, which goes at least as far back as the French illusionist <strong>Georges M\u00e9li\u00e8s<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>But, as the video essay below emphasizes, the real magic happens when filmmakers <em>combine<\/em> techniques. When optical mattes, body doubles, and motion-controlled cameras are intertwined and mixed-and-matched to sell us on the trick.<\/p>\n<p>The video offers an impressively dense look at examples of different \u201cdoubling\u201d techniques across cinema history and how their limitations led to creative solutions. So, if you\u2019ve ever wanted to know the ins and outs of one of film\u2019s longest-serving visual effects, you\u2019ve come to the right place.<\/p>\n<p id=\"block-b5ac606c-b74a-4cab-a663-701ec85c7024\">Watch \u201c<strong>Creating Doubles: The Split-Screen and Beyond\u201d<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Creating Doubles: The Split-Screen and Beyond\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Mys8_k5PNPM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"block-da44f2c0-01e5-442d-b111-649cfba1b5a9\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_made_this\"><\/span>Who made this?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This video is by <strong>RocketJump Film School<\/strong>, an ongoing <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> of online filmmaking tutorials and educational essays.
