A Technique for Producing Realistic Photographs of Tactical Scenes Employing Model Vehicles

Abstract

A montage technique was developed by which photographs of model vehicles can be combined with photographs of real terrain to produce realistic tactical scenes. To accomplish this, a color slide of a real terrain background is projected onto a white screen. Small black-and-white photographs of the model vehicles are then positioned on the projection in realsitic deployments. The montage is then photographed to produce the final imagery. No special equipment is required and the technique can be easily employed by a Training Aids Service Office to produce imagery for a variety of training purposes.
