What is missing

 

Surf at Monterey (1897)


Directed by James H. White this is an early short film. We see the waves crashing over two rocks on the coast.


This is a number of short clips that are cut together into a film that runs less than a minute long. I found the cuts distracting and would have preferred a single shot to capture the churning nature of the sea. Not my favourite of the early Edison catalogue.


2/5
