Early filmmakers like Georges Méliès could add a hidden cut to film a wide array of illusions. Creative composites allowed for an invisible character in 1933's "The Invisible Man" and for Moses to part the sea in "The Ten Commandments." Artists literally painted on top of shots to extend sets in "Citizen Kane" and create fantasy worlds in "The Wizard of Oz."
