Why "Divers and Sundry"?
Because this blog does not consist of a single focus topic I chose the name Divers and Sundry where "Divers" means being of many and various kinds, and "Sundry" means consisting of a haphazard assortment of different kinds.

That was weird ... but considering it was 1902, marvelous.
ReplyDeleteIt amazes me what they could accomplish so long ago.
Delete...short and sweet.
ReplyDeleteModern filmmaking could take a lesson from how much story you can fit into such a short film.
DeleteThis is a fun little video. All I can think of is the magic it must have been for audiences of the time who weren't use to the CGI and other effects we've all seen today. Happy Thursday!
ReplyDeleteIt really must've looked like magic when this films first started being shown.
DeleteLove it.
ReplyDeleteMe, too :)
DeleteVery creative. Cutting edge special effects for 1902!!
ReplyDeleteThe old films amaze me!
DeleteImagine how amazed people would have been to see this back then--wow! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed even now. Their creativity and invention are wonderful to warch.
DeleteWow, considering the time it was in!
ReplyDeleteYes, the story-telling in such a short film and the special effects are so much fun :)
DeleteFun!
ReplyDeleteI thought so, too :)
DeleteI was in awe, and I'm used to CGI. Modern filmmakers could take lessons on how to share a short story.
ReplyDeleteI think some of the modern films are bloated beyond enjoyment.
DeleteStrange but good! Valerie
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you liked it :)
