'D.W. Griffith' (qv) said about Melies, "I owe him everything.", 'Charles Chaplin' (qv) said he was "the alchemist of light.", His grave is situated in the Pre Lachaise cemetery (Paris, France), He built the first movie studio in Europe., Is regarded as "The Father of Special Effects.", He was the first to use production sketches and storyboards., On December 28, 1895, he was a member of the first audience in the world to see the Lumiere brothers' Cinematographe., He tried to buy Cinematographe equipment from the Lumieres but they refused to sell to him. He got into the film business by buying a projector from R. W. Paul and buying a Bioscope camera., His first films, like those of the Lumieres, were simple life scenes which he added to the program at his theatre, the Theatre Robert-Houdin. He later filmed scenes of himself doing magic tricks., Melies worked with two engineers at his theatre workshop to build a camera of his own. The first prototype weighed over 75 pounds., While shooting one of his life scenes in the Place de l'Opera in Paris, the camera jammed. It took about a minute to clear the problem and resume shooting. When the film was processed and screened, Melies saw a bus suddenly turn into a hearse; people in the scene suddenly appeared or disappeared. This accident led to his discovery of stop motion trickery which became his first filmic special effects technique. This stop motion technique had previously been discovered and used by Edison, but Melies made extensive use of it in his short films., He considered the United States such an important market that his company had an office there. Many of his production sketches and storyboards were captioned in English as well as French., By the time he left film production, he had created over 500 films., When he discontinued film production, Melies himself reportedly destroyed the original elements of most of his films., The Theatre Robert-Houdin was closed in 1914 as a result of World War I. This sent him into bankruptcy., The French surrealist movement of the 1920s brought about a rediscovery of his surviving works., The recognition by the French surrealist movement led to acknowledgement of his contributions to the art and industry of the motion picture. A search was conducted for him and he was discovered operating a Kiosk at the Gare Montparnasse where he was selling candy and toys., The rediscovery and recognition of Melies in the 1920s led to his being awarded the Legion of Honor in 1931., Biography in: John Wakeman, editor. "World Film Directors, Volume One, 1890-1945". Pages 747-765. New York: The H.W. Wilson Company, 1987., Was cinema's first real fantasist. Considered the absolute greatest fictional fantatsist of his time., Had all of his early equipment (projectors, printers and processing equipment) custom made from designs of others (namely the Lumiere's) that he had improved on., His brother 'Gaston Mlis' (qv) opened a sales office in New York City in 1903 to market his films in the US. They published a catalog with very detailed and extensive descriptions in English. Georges would then shoot two negatives of each of his films--one of which would be sent to the States., Father of 'Andr Mlis' (qv) ., Before getting into motion pictures, his jobs, which he reportedly loved, included work as a conjurer, illusionist and theater owner/manager. It was this background that fueled his imagination in regards to making motion pictures. Unlike the Lumiere Brothers, especially director Louis Lumiere, he didn't think that the cinema was simply for recording, films actualities and taking snapshots of reality. Instead, he considered the medium a perfect vehicle to further escape for an audience.

By happenstance, he discovered that he could splurge stop-motion photography to render prank optical effects. Melies was also the first to use technique such by guess of the fade-in, the fade-out, and the dissolve to craft the first valid narrative films. Melies made over 500 films, but his furthermost branded - _Le voyage dans la lune (1902)_ (qv) (Voyage to the Moon). Still, Melies, educated in classic eighteenth century theater, conceive all of his films in jargon of fully played-out scene. Unable to hold by the component of to alert beside the varying industry, the indirect up of his existence was fashioned with need, but his films would be monumental stepping stones in back of excellent auteurs such as 'D.W. Griffith' (qv).
