Who wouldn't have fun in a bakery?

Thomas Edison wasn't just obsessed with taking people's discoveries and monopolizing them immensely. He created a short film, although not technically stop-motion as we consider it today, this short film demonstrates the simplest ways in which stop motion can be utilized. By splicing the frames in the movie reel, clips can be physically removed from the reel and spliced back together. The same can be done with the individual pictures taken for the stop motion. Although this would make the stop motion much less fluid, the purpose of posting and sharing this video is to further show how stop motion works and how manipulating it can be done with a simple elimination of frames.
