# Fact 1 The 1964 film "Mary Poppins," Ub Iwerks modified the technicolor camera that was used to mix live action and animation, also known as the "Sodium Vapor Process." This camera had a prism installed to separate the sodium vapor lights from the rest of the color. Ub Iwerks, Petro Vlahos & Wadsworth E. Pohl received an Academy Award in 1965 for its use in Mary Poppins. Alfred Hitchcock went to Walt Disney asking to borrow Ub to help make the film "The Birds." In 1964 Ub was nominated for a Academy Award for "Best Effects, Special Visual Effects", but lost to the film Cleopatra. 2 The DC Comics supervillian Dr. U'bx was named in his honor. 3 Biography in: "American National Biography." Supplement 1, pp. 290-291. New York: Oxford University Press, 2002. 4 Walt Disney referred to him as "the greatest animator in the world." 5 He was regarded as a technical genius in the areas of animation and special visual effects. He never finished high school. 6 The sodium-vapor process, developed in England by the J. Arthur Rank Organization, was brought to the United States by Iwerks where he made further refinements. 7 He was in charge of Research and Development at the Disney studio. 8 In addition to his skill as an animator, he became an expert in special visual effects. Outside of Disney, he did special effects work on such films as Alfred Hitchcock 's The Birds (1963). 9 He developed new apparatuses and processes for the photography and optical compositing necessary to combine live-action and animated characters in films such as The Three Caballeros (1944), Song of the South (1946), and Mary Poppins (1964). 10 In 1930, he left Disney to start his own animation studio. Among the creations of his own studio was the "Flip the Frog" series. 11 He co-created (with Walt Disney ), designed, and animated the first version of Mickey Mouse in 1928. 12 Ub Iwerks widow, Mildred, died in 1992. 13 Father of Dave Iwerks . Grandfather of Leslie Iwerks . 14 He was known as the fastest animator in the business in early sound period.
