Mécanisme 008 [Video]

 [The screen is dark at first, but there is a soft rattle and whirring sound until suddenly a flickering light reveals a pattern on a nearby wall. Light being made through an old-style film projector as a film strip passes through with a childishly drawn ghost drawn from cell to cell mostly just floating in a blob-like manner until it goes from one side of the screen until the other and says 'BOO' in sketchy silent-film writing.

Then the short strip of film ends, but Hugo, behind the projector, and off-screen, is left laughing as he stares happily at the now white wall of his makeshift old time movie theater.]

It worked!

Well Pennsylvania is right around there.

They're in color now. And they even brought moving pictures into people's homes.
