This early silent film was created/directed by Georges Méliès and was released in France under the name, "La lune à un mètre," in 1898.
In the film an astronomer is studying at his desk in an observatory. The devil appears, then a woman appears and makes the devil and herself vanish.

Per simulare l’ambiente sottomarino, Méliès utilizza lo stesso trucco già impiegato in https://youtu.be/DAkz4KwBQzo filmando attraverso un acquario posto tra la cinepresa ed il soggetto rappresentato.
_Sinossi_ (0:08) Un prestigiatore (Georges Méliès) controlla l’acqua di un acquario dopodiché inizia a travasare il liquido dalla teca al suo cilindro posto sul tavolo. (1:10) Quando il cappello è colmo, l’uomo comincia a pescarci dentro (1:10), usando il suo bastone come canna.
I pesci che pesca li ripone con cura nell’acquario (1:16). Il prestigiatore decide di cambiare abito (1:30) e subito ci appare in quelli di un vecchio pescatore. Quando nell’acquario ci sono ormai abbastanza pesci, il pescatore prestigiatore estrae qualche coniglio dal suo cilindro (2:02) prima di sbarazzarsene. (2:25) Il mago trascina l’acquario colmo di pesci al centro della scena e tutta la stanza diventa un antro somarino.
(2:33) Dal nero fondale vediamo apparire un sirena (Jeanne d’Alcy), che distesa tra alghe e coralli ci saluta e mandandoci baci. (3:15) il prestigiatore riappare in scena per convincerci ancora che non si tratta di un trucco. (3:26) La sirena viene trasformata in essere umano, il mago fa apparire una grande conchiglia al centro della scena e vi fa accomodare la donna, mentre lui si arrampica sul trono per prende le sembianze del dio Nettuno per la posa finale.
Méliès non muove ne sposta mai la sua cinepresa, in questa scena: 02:33, che sembrerebbe un carrello, non è la camera a muoversi, ma la sirena avvicinarsi ad essa, lo stesso avvenniva in _Viaggio sulla Luna_ , nella celebre scena viene colpita dal proiettile, come pure in tutti i film in cui Méliès ultilizza il trucco dell'ingrandimanto o rimpicciolimento di oggetti e personaggi che ottiene ponendoli su dei carelli che avvicina o allontana dalla sua cinepresa immobile.

This early silent film was created/directed by Georges Méliès and was released in France under the name, "La lune à un mètre," in 1898.
In the film an astronomer is studying at his desk in an observatory. The devil appears, then a woman appears and makes the devil and herself vanish. The astronomer draws a globe on a blackboard which comes to life and starts to move on the blackboard. The astronomer then looks through a small telescope.
The moon appears as a large face and eats the astronomer's telescope. Men tumble from its mouth. Then the moon is back in the sky. The astronomer stands on a table, which disappears and he falls down.
The moon becomes a crescent. A spirit, in the form of a lady, appears from it. The astronomer chases her, but she eludes him. Now another figure stands in the crescent of the moon, before reclining into its C shape.
The moon appears as a large face again, and the astronomer jumps into its mouth and a woman and the devil appear again. The astronomer reappears sitting asleep in his chair.
