This simple but effective footage of "A Storm At Sea" was apparently at least in part the result of a fortunate improvisation. The Edison film crew decided to take this footage when a storm came up while they were crossing the ocean, and the results show that it was worth their time and trouble to do so.
For all that film-making, and certainly live film-making, was still in its formative years, this footage is very effective in making you feel the force of the storm and the rolling of the sea and the ship. It combines two different kinds of footage, with some being taken across the side of the ship as two men stand along the rails in the foreground, and other footage being taken of the sea and the sky by themselves, with nothing else in sight. Both shots work well, and they combine to give a good feel of the motion of the turbulent sea.
It had to have taken some risk as well as some extra effort to make this movie. While the material is simple in nature, it works well in accomplishing its goal.
