HAMMER FILM PRODUCTIONS: 'CAPTAIN CLEGG' TONGUE IN CHEEK BEHIND THE SCENES PHOTOGRAPH (1962)

A great tongue-in-check photograph taken during the making of Hammer Film productions 'Captain Clegg' aka 'Night Creatures' (1962) starring Peter Cushing. Here we have Patrick Allen as Capt Collier and his Queens Customs men waiting at the bus stop! I think they would have needed something a little faster than a Number ten bus to catch Clegg, Mipps and the 'marsh phantoms'!

'THE EVIL OF FRANKENSTEIN' PETER CUSHING : BACK PROJECTION AT BRAY STUDIOS (1964)



Here are two shots of Peter shooting some 'back projection' shots for 'The Evil of Frankenstein' (1964) at Hammer Films Bray Studios. It's was quite a tricky process to pull off convincingly, matching lighting and motion were key. Alfred Hitchcock was probably 'the king of back projection' as he used so much of it in his films. Unfortunately, maybe because of time restrictions, the shots filmed here in 'Evil' aren't the best example of the technique.
