Hermanos Lumière La Danza de la Serpentina - (The Serpentine Dance - 1899)

Shot and hand-colored - frame by frame - at the end of the 19th Century. Still captivating today, but just imagine what it must have been like to watch an image move and transform like this in 1899! A beautiful example of the earliest cinematic ART.

Film coloreado a mano, cuadro por cuadro, a finales del siglo XIX.
Aún cutiva verlo hoy en día, pero imaginen lo que debe haber sido ver estas imagenes en movimiento y transformación en el año 1899! Un hermoso ejemplo de los inicios del cine arte.

Me queda la duda de si el protagonista es un ilusionista de verdad, o son efectos especiales muy buenos y muy antiguos, evidentemente.

Le Diable Noir by Georges Melies (1905)

A traveler at an inn is harassed by a mischievous devil in his room.

(In 1913 Georges Méliès' film company was forced into bankruptcy by the large French and American studios and his company was bought out of receivership by Pathé Frères. After being driven out of business Méliès became a toy salesman at the Montparnasse station. In 1932 the Cinema Society gave Méliès a home in Chateau D'Orly. Melies did not grasp the value of his films, and having some 500 films recorded on cellulose the French Army seized most of this stock to be melted down into boot heels during World War I. Many of the other films were sold to be recycled into new film. As a result many of these films do not exist today.)
