Synopsis

Georges Méliès's first adaptation of *Cinderella* was made in 1899. At the time, the film was notable for its multiple scenes and a rudimentary narrative, as well as its use of dissolves as transitions, a technique that would influence other filmmakers for years. Méliès was then the leading figure in the cinema world. By 1912, however, that position had changed; as this film demonstrates, his style had become outdated. Additionally, Méliès had begun incorporating techniques from other filmmakers, such as direct cuts in place of dissolves, and even included a match on action during the scene where the slipper is tried on.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 7

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.
