Synopsis

A magician steps onto the stage carrying a hoop covered with white paper. In quick succession, the flags of Germany, Russia, Ireland, England, and China are brought forth, and from each a soldier representing the respective nation is produced. The magician adds a bit of comedy by producing a distinctly Hibernian policeman from the flag of Ireland. The magician then waves his hand, and the flags of all nations slowly dissolve and blend into one large American flag.

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.
