She is the creator of one of the first narrative films known as The Cabbage Fairy at a time period when only scenes of everyday life was captured on film. Although she shot scenes of everyday life and some travelogues, her most significant work came from these narratives. Her style became the basis of modern films. She used special effect techniques such as double exposures, masking, and reverse of video and audio. Furthermore, her hand-colored films became popular in music-hall attractions. Her inter-racial casting, audio recordings system known as the Chronophone, biblical stories, personally owned studio, and music videos also made her films unusual for her period.
