Film Technician. Born in Los Angeles, of French decent, Edouart started in the film industry early in life becoming a special effects photographer, eventually joining Paramount Studios and becoming head of their Special Effects department. He was particularly effective at making rear projection screen shots look realistic and perfected a film technique named the 'glass shot' that coupled miniature sized models with full sized sets. An example of that technique was in the film "Dr. Cyclops" (1940). Other notable films that featured his work were "Vertigo" (1958), "Sunset Blvd". (1950), "Breakfast at Tiffany's" (1961), "Rosemary's Baby" (1968), numerous John Wayne films including "El Dorado" (1966) and "In Harm's Way" (1965), and "The Ten Commandments" (1956). He worked on 365 films during his career and was a highly regarded member of the American Society of Cinematographers (A.S.C.).
