@billybizar Oh and also, Phantom Rides, a technique that was designed to give the spectator the illusion of traveling, was used as early as 1898 and it was a typical popular genre in England and other various countries. Just sayin'. One example would be "View From an Enginge Front---Barnstaple" made by the Warwick Trading Company.

@billybizar Just so you know, close-ups showed up in films as early as 1900. Two examples include James Williamson's "The Big Swallow" and G.A. Smith's "Mary Jane's Mishap". Granted they were very short films, but filmmakers nevertheless used that technique. Just like how different contemporary directors have different directing styles, directors way back when also had their own techniques that they liked to use. Close-up wasn't a technique that was universally used in film's early beginnings.

@billybizar Early filmmakers were thinking along the lines of a person watching a play in a theater. A person sitting in the theater does not get up and walk about to see the action from a better angle or go up on stage to get a close-up. Filmmakers slowly had to discover the possibilities that cinema could offer in story telling.

@JayPhilosopher Yes, but at the same time it seems so primitive now. You wonder why they did not discover and apply a more dynamic storytelling before. No camerapanning or moving, no close-ups,...

This is amazing and funny. It shows that Guy could integrate gags and story in a way unmatched till Buster Keaton
