Abstract
Segundo de Chomón is the leading pioneer of both Spanish and international animated films. This imaginative filmmaker, also the creator of the frame-by-frame filming technique in the short film El hotel eléctrico (1905), was one of the most prestigious technicians of his day who, through his work, has ultimately set the groundwork for the animated films that we know today.Downloads
