Trip to the Moon

I think that what makes a Trip to the Moon special is the way of how was set up. It was just a way to show something different that never have done before. In my humble opinion, George Melies is a bernacular artist. As we discussed in class, bernacular comes from the latin common. As technology became available for the masses, the masses found new ways to exploit their potentials as new ways of art. It is not like painting, ceramics, sculpture arts that discipline have been established and guided for centuries. Video is different type of art, since there are always new developments and is not established as a concrete discipline. George Melies is actually someone to be admired, he did not do it for the money. He was just trying to do something new and have fun at the same time.
As a business major, this is an example of entrepreneur. A guy who invested and took risk. George Melies came from a wealthy family. He could stay in the family business, but he did not feel that staying in the family business was part of him. So, he was innovative and took the resources he had available. He began his videos with family and friends and ended up recruiting cast from operas.He ended up entertainment industry, which produce huge amount of profit.
