Google Doodle celebrates French illusionist and film director Georges Melies. He was responsible for many technical developments in the earliest days of cinema and popularised the concept of narrative films. He was an especially prolific innovator in the use of special effects, popularizing such techniques as substitution splices, multiple exposures, time-lapse photography, dissolves, and hand-painted color. He was also one of the first filmmakers to use storyboards.
