Established a star production company and built the world's first studio.

It was Georges Méliès who set up a star production company and built the first studio in the world.

Georges Méliès has excellent artistic accomplishment and his own magic theater. He can write, direct, set and make puppets independently. He is a talented artist and the first amazing audience of Lumiere films.

1897, the Frenchman Georges Méliès set up a "star production company" and established a "star production company" in Montreux near Paris. The size of Utan Theatre has built a "studio" with a glass roof.

This "studio" is a model that film studios all over the world will follow in the future. However, this "studio" is like a big photo studio. One end of the "studio" is a camera, while the other end is a stage space with an organ. In Mei's own words, this is the combination of the photographer's studio and the theater stage.

Character contribution

In the famous Dreyfus incident (1899), he directed with meticulous realism, imitated some photos, and made the actors perform in real time in the style of newsreels, making a long drama of 15 minutes. Among them, there are big close-ups and shots of actors, and there are also scenes where people are scattered, which creates a precedent for the art of "moving the real thing".

Although May Lea's Monterey Studio is a few years later than Edison's Black Maria, it is larger in scale, more exquisite in design, and has a film studio and factory-style operation.

The top of Monterey's studio is full of glass, so that natural light can be fully utilized and artificial light sources can be minimized when shooting, and the intensity of light can be adjusted through curtains. Mei Li 'ai also personally designed a set of complicated mechanical devices, which can shoot those complicated scheduling scenes at any time.
