Multi-dynamic image technique is a name given by its Canadian creator Christopher Chapman to a film innovation which shows several images shifting simultaneously on right-angled panes within the overall image, with said panes variously containing a single image or forming part of an image completed by one or a number of other panes. The process was first used in his film A Place to Stand, produced for the Ontario pavilion at Expo 67, held in Montreal.
