Back in 1982 or so, Georges Melies’ granddaughter came to visit Lucasfilm, bringing with her newly restored prints of several Melies films, including Voyage dans la Lune. The two distinguishing features of the things she showed were extreme staginess (most of Melies’ films were shot from a single camera angle, pointed at a proscenium) and the inventiveness of Melies’ special effects. He had to invent most of the tricks he used, having no predecessors to learn from.
