The Geese on the Lake

The Geese on the Lake

This movie is inspired by cinema of the 1890’s. One minute long, depicting a nonfictional scene that was happening right in front of the filmmakers. The filmmaker even made sure it was 24fps. Shot on iPhone 14, edited in CapCut using the effects ‘80s Tape’, ‘Black Noise’, ‘Noise 2’, and ‘Film Frame’. So many of these movies are lost so the filmmaker wanted to make another one.
