Camera Tricks
6 September 2022
"The Enchanted Drawing" is an early use of camera tricks. The artist in this short drew the face of a man, then above the face he drew a wine bottle and a wine glass. Then, he seemed to snatch the wine bottle and glass right from the paper as if by magic he made the drawings real.

"The Enchanted Drawing" is a 1900 silent film directed by J. Stuart Blackton. It is best known for containing the first animated sequences recorded on standard picture film, which has led Blackton to be considered the father of American animation. The short was produced by a man who needs no introduction: Thomas Edison.
