Context: For an article in Reader's Digest, Harrison Ellenshaw told me partly how the Disney studio made one for its adventure in deep space and advanced special effects, The Black Hole: "Mix lacquer-base paint with water in a sixty-six-foot tank, and shoot it at very high speed - fifteen times normal," said Ellenshaw. "Take the film to a matte room and do cross dissolve triple frames. That'll slow it down even more and give it a little more surreal look." Culhane Attestation: 2
