He was overtaken by those who followed and built on his techniques. Whether it was a lack of imagination or budget and equipment constraints, most of his movies were set up as if they were stage plays and recorded by a single, unmoving, camera. Other filmmakers, over time, developed zoom shots, close-ups, panning, and other techniques still used today.
Nice short. From back in the old days when astronomers weren't afraid to burn their eyes out looking at an eclipse. Now, we close the schools because kids aren't bright enough to know not to stare at the eclipse.

An artist, director, actor, producer, EDITOR cameraman He did it all and in many cases, invented it. And to top it off, a Magician. The magic translated well to film.
beautiful. watched this on april 8, 2024 solar eclipse wow
Melies was certainly a visionary. I think he had a pretty clear idea of how much potential Motion Pictures really had.

Magically brilliant! I love the musical track too!!
And with that, Rule 34 was invented.
Wonderful, this guy was a true genius
Великий Жорж Мельес , гигант творческих идей и находок ! Обожаю его феноменальные фильмы!!
🌜Que simpático este corto! 🌝🌚
and that, children, is how the comets and asteroids came to be ;)
J'adore ces vieux films.
Benvenuta a bordo
a must see for eclipse day!
Great video. So the sun is totally gay for the moon then. Interesting idea that. Never would have thought that up!
A arte do visionário Méliès é um verdadeiro deleite!
The sun is like don't tell nobody I saw the dark side of your moon

Amen brother
We get it, you're old and bitter
Todo bien... pero x que la luna no fue representada por una mujer?..eso me llama la atención 😮
The connotations leave me slightly uncomfortable
I find it funny! It's cool to see that people have always been raunchy 😂 well, you and I wouldn't exist if people weren't
Figo....anche se il finale è nu poc' accussí !!!
Vero. Méliès fu l'inventore del cinema che racconta storie, ma le storia non sapeva scriverle ne raccontarle
George was a genius but died broke. So sad. Read his biography.
But not forgotten. He was recognized for his great work later on in life.

Why would you have dramatic music over comic action? That's utterly inept.
Yo whatttt 💀💀💀
