Disney’s long-lost prism has been recreated — not in a vault, but through sodium vapor lensing. The original, used in Mary Poppins, won Disney a 1965 Academy Award for creating perfect transparency mattes. We can now recreate the trick using filtered sodium light and dual-camera setups. The result: flawless edges of glass, smoke, and hair—no spill, no digital noise. So why on earth are we still using green screens? These new mattes can now train machine learning models, improving automated editing. Analog tech can teaching AI how to see. Watch the revival -->
