Every day I have to climb through the walls to wind all the clocks.

tinkering. Its one of my favorite skills that I learned from him!

- 16. Georges Mlis Movies were not what they are today. Many were
silent, which meant no one talked, they had to tell the story just
by actions and pictures. They were also a lot shorter. Making
movies was really hard and took a lot of work, so most movies were
shorts or quick stories, lasting only a few minutes (think of the
Pixar shorts we watched for PBIS). Now our movies can be 2 hours
long. home
- 17. Georges Mlis After his film company went bankrupt, many of
his films were ruined. They were recycled: The French Army used
many of the films to melt down and make boot heals for the army.
Others were recycled into new movies. Georges did not realize the
lasting effect his movies would have, so no one knows exactly how
many he made. home

we learned. Pay close attention when you watch the video to the

video only shows wood. Many machines can fall into the Automata
category home
