Context: Front-axial screen material can be cut up and used to provide multiplane layouts. For instance a projected picture of a house against sky could be split into two parts, the house being beamed on to a profiled cut-out and the sky on to the studio backing. A person walking from behind the cut-out would appear to come from behind the house. Useful for Lilliputian scenes where small people walk around large objects.
