George was a french man who was the first person to use the fade-in and fade-out techniques. However he was one of the pioneers of stop motion. He was also pioneer of hand painted frames in film, multiple exposure and time lapse. During his active years as a filmmaker he produced an amazing number of 531 films. He would cut one image unto another and trick the mind into seeing something they didn't think was possible.
Here is one of him animations. Another one of his tricks was the he would suddelny stop filming and then move something in front of the camera. This gave you the illusion that that something had moved on its own.
