Filming a Title Crawl

However, few may have considered how this distinctive feature initially made its way to the big screen. Surprisingly, the process involved filming a smaller screen that displayed the title crawl in motion.
This method of capturing a screen with a camera to transfer the result to another screen might seem unusual in today’s digital age but was a practical solution at the time, showcasing the resourcefulness of early filmmaking techniques.
