Biography

Segundo de Chomón became involved in film through his coloring workshop in Barcelona, Spain. From October 1902 to March 1903, he collaborated with Pathé, adding color to some of their films in Barcelona. He began shooting films for Macaya & Marro in 1905; then, in the summer of 1906, he moved to Paris where he became a trick film specialist for Pathé. The body of work he created over five years was outstanding. De Chomón created fantastical narratives embellished with ingenious effects, gorgeous color, innovative hand-drawn, and puppet animation; tricks of the eye that surprise and delight, and startling turns of surreal imagination. De Chomón carried on as a filmmaker, specializing in trick effects, working for Pathé, Itala and others.
