Even if this film had been spliced, the timing and editing skills would have been impressive. Now that I've learned they didn't even splice, but stopped the camera and resumed filming on the spot... what can I say? Genius!

Actually, this movie pre-dates film splicing and physical editing by a couple of years. You can see a film splice or two in the source print for this video, but they're not at the transition jumps, and might be film repairs of a later time. This movie was made with a hand-cranked camera and a lot of skill and timing. And quite a bit of rehearsal, I'd imagine.Primitive film editing started about 1902. Optical printing didn't come along until the 1920s.

yeah, i know, im not saying it isn't impressive, i'm just saying that in 21st century eyes it's kind of obvious what he's done. but for 109 years ago, it's one of the most amazing things i've ever seen.
