Synopsis

A gardener is watering his flowers when a mischievous boy sneaks up behind him and steps on the water hose. Surprised by the sudden stoppage of water, the gardener looks into the nozzle to investigate. The boy then removes his foot from the hose, causing the water to squirt up and hit the gardener in the face. The gardener chases the boy, grabs his ear, and slaps him on the buttocks. The boy runs away, and the gardener resumes watering. Three separate versions of this film exist; this is the original, filmed by Louis Lumière.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 3

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.
