During George Washington's inauguration, the apparent cheering crowd of thousands was actually filmed with only around 80 people. They would stand in a square formation - edged by green screen cloth. After filming a few seconds of giddy flag-waving, the 80 would switch positions, trade flags and buntings around, pick up different things (pitchforks, tankards, children, etc) and move over thirty feet. The process was then repeated numerous times. By day's end, there were enough squares of different-looking crowd activity to stitch the lot together digitally and make it look like a seamless mob of thousands.
