Not making a big splash

The Fantastic Diver (1906)

Directed by Segundo de Chomon this is an early short film. We watch a man instantly jump in and out of water with a variety of magical costume changes.

Essentially this film relies on two simple camera tricks and is not overly remarkable. The content is entertaining but not overly so. While I enjoyed this short it does not have a huge amount to it.


3/5
