L'homme orchestre
The One-Man Band
Georges Méliès 1900 France
One musician keeps cloning himself with different instruments, and then the orchestra play.
A very basic technique of laying images over images; it must have wowed people back then, because it is still very impressive now. Méliès was clearly very interested in performing magic tricks but using cinematic language to shed new lights and possibilities on them. He succeeded.
