Notes: This is a video I've been wanting to make for some time -- at its core, it is simply a tribute to some of the works of Georges Méliès, what has survived, and been restored. While there were challenges related to the footage itself and the nature of the short films, this was really a labour of love. And on the up side: After working with footage from the 1890s, everything looks high definition.

Premiered at VVC '13 in the Brand New Classic Hits vidshow.

This made me really happy at the con, and it was such a great opener to the Classic Hits vidshow. My inner film nerd is still squeeing!

Awww, thank you! This is just a vid that I've wanted to do for a long time, and I'm so glad you liked it.

It actually didn't open it, but I'm super flattered and happy that it made enough of an impression for you to remember it that way! :D :D

Oh! Heh. How odd. Now I've gotta revisit that playlist...
