Synopsis

Some gnomes are on a quest to find a remarkable spider that weaves webs of golden coins. As they pursue their search, they remain unaware that their every move is being closely observed by a poor woodcutter, who also enters their caves after they have captured the spider and imprisoned it there. The woodcutter watches in amazement as the spider creates gold and other items, and in this scene, the moving picture camera has demonstrated its ability to produce some impressive visual effects. Ultimately, the woodcutter steals the golden spider. (Moving Picture World)

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 1

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.
