Disney Multiplane episode

Disney's Multiplane camera was invented by Ub Iwerks and gave 3 dimensional depth to the early animated Disney features and shorts. Introduction video by Kevin MacLean and multiplane clips from Disney's "The Old Mill", "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", "Pinocchio", "Fantasia", "Sleeping Beauty" and "The Black Cauldron".

Wonderful stuff, that piece of kit must've needed a whole team of people to drive it, all of those classics have that handmade quality that's sadly lacking today, even with our super technology it can never be recreated, all of those people from the artists to the film technicians put a little bit of themselves into their work, great age, and privileged to have been a child to seen them.

Some time ago, I've tried to make similar multiplane thing, but of course, a lot smaller and simpler, it was horizontally oriented, filmed couple of shots with it, but some time later I've had to disassemble it. But I want to make another one, better and bigger, with some FG minaiture support, and rear projection option

How did they get all the planes in focus at the same time? Fascinating video by the way.
