Directed by Edwin S. Porter, George S. Fleming
Twitter Facebook Google+Overview
Porter’s sequential continuity editing links several shots to form a narrative of the famous fairy tale story of Jack and his magic beanstalk. Borrowing on cinematographic methods reminiscent of ‘Georges Melies’ , Porter uses animation, double exposure, and trick photography to illustrate the fairy’s apparitions, Jack’s dream, and the fast growing beanstalk.

Viewing Notes
Pretty fun short with great sets and a hilarious “cow” played by two people. Interesting how they pantomimed some stuff to get the point across in lieu of sound or intertitles.
