The concept was the same: photographing an element in front of a limbo screen, which then creates the element and a mask-- the "matte"-- to print into another shot. This could be done with either a limbo black background (as Bert Gordon did years later) or a white background. The Dunning process is pretty similar, using (whoa. Where's Jim Aupperle when I need him?) red light to create some sort of differentiation effect between subject and neutral background.
