Segundo de Chomon's short film "The Enchanted Pond" is another of his short trick movies. At only a minute long it doesn't stand out among the other trick films made at the same time, but though simple it's still fun. I've read it's only a fragment, so there was probably more to it than what meets the eye. All the tricks were done very well apart from one towards the end, and the print is appropriately tinted green.
Basically, the movie has a maidservant at a pond who performs a variety of tricks. Most of them involve stop-motion, but there is some reverse-motion. Fun for any fan of early cinema who enjoys the trick films of both Melies or Chomon.
(Note: Why is this called "The Enchanted Pond"? The pond barely has anything to do with the movie magic so the title isn't really that fitting at all).
