1902: Melies

Georges Méliès was an illusionist who, fascinated by the possibilities of the Lumière brothers’ cinematograph, became a pioneer of cinema. In 1902, he filmed his most famous work: “Le Voyage dans la Lune” (“A Trip to the Moon”), one of the first science fiction film in history and one of the most complex of its time due to its duration, visual effects, and boundless imagination.

As assistant directors to Georges Méliès, you have to collaborate in the making of this film. You will need to prepare the sets, activate special effects, position the actors, shoot scenes, edit them, and hand-color them to create fabulous sequences.
