The Man with the Rubber Head (1901) Georges Méliès

The Man with the Rubber Head (french: L'Homme à la tète de Caoutchouc) is a trick film from 1901 realized by Georges Méliès: • Georges Méliès
Georges Méliès is in his laboratory, from a box he extracts a small living copy of his head and decides to make it bigger: he places it on a shelf with a tube, he takes a bellows and begins to blow it up like a balloon. This film is particularly important because it is a demonstration of how much Méliès' ability has been perfected and how he is now able to manage the first machine movements (the head size increases and decreases depending on the proximity of the camera).

In realtà , non era la macchina che si avvicinava alla testa ; era Melies che veniva avvicinato oppure allontanato dalla cinepresa ; era seduto su una specie di carrello, la mdp riprendeva solo la sua testa.

[@iconaus]

grazie della precisazione, ma nessuno ha affermato che fosse la cinepresa a muoversi

On s'en doutait...
