Lightning Sketches (1907)

Actors: J. Stuart Blackton (actor), J. Stuart Blackton (producer), J. Stuart Blackton (director),

Plot: An illustrator draws some sketches at lightning speed. He first illustrates how he can turn a written word into a sketch of that word.

He is then visited on set by another man, who makes a smudge on the drawing surface. The illustrator turns that smudge into a sketch of that visiting man. And finally, he draws a drinking glass, a bottle of milk and a bottle of seltzer which take on lives of their own.
