The Optical Printing effect comes from a lost letter from Pat O'Neill that Dennis Couzin had lying around at his house in Evanston, the letter was a step by step recipe to make a complicated optical sandwich using several layers of hi-con superimposing, pos/neg combination, I tried it and after a YEAR of bad takes, I finally got some good ones, this section is one of them.
