L’Hotel hanté:
1909 – Segundo de Chomón
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LC0ZC4R8QBk
L’Hotel hanté (The Haunted Hotel) was created by spanish film pioneer Segundo de Chomón.
In this film he combines silhouette animations and stop-motion techniques along with scenes of real life action. Cut shots are used to give the effect of furniture suddenly disappearing, and a stunt dummy is used to show the main character being thrown around the room by 'ghosts'.
I find the use of stop motion to show the main character moving along the rows of chairs interesting and quite effective, considering the time this short film was made in.
This film is silent and has no musical accompaniment, which is somewhat disappointing, as I feel with this type of film a musical accompaniment would have been able to enhance the dramatic and unusual events of the film.
