Synopsis

During the Alaska gold rush, one route to the Klondike was via the Chilkoot Pass. A stationary camera captures a view down the winding trail as a pack train comes into frame and passes in front of the viewer. The procession is led by a man on horseback, followed by eight loaded mules. Another cowboy on horseback and a man walking follow, then eight more mules, another cowboy, and nine additional laden mules. A further cowboy and more mules continue the line, which stretches as far as the eye can see. A lone man observes the scene from the top of a nearby hillock.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 2

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
