HISTORY

Southwood Holographics was founded in 2020 by Hart Perry. It assumed the assets of Perry’s Holographic Film Company which was founded in the early 70's. In the 70’s Hart Perry was one of the cameramen who recorded the film with which Lloyd Cross would make a major innovation in holography. Cross called this innovation a “Multiplex” and recorded holograms from motion picture film of people in motion and of outdoor scenes. Multiplex holograms are also referred to as stereograms. 

 

During this same time period, Hart, Bill Molteni and Rudie Berkhout, with Lloyd’s help, built a Multiplex machine which produced 120° and 360°  holograms using the new Lloyd Cross technique. Rudie Berkhout produced stereograms, our Artist In Residence, Aaron Kurzen incorporated mixed media and sculpture stereograms using our system and  Dan Schweitzer combined white light transmission holograms with stereograms. Hart Perry introduced the use of slow-motion, timelapse photography, animation and special effects in the production of stereograms.
