Animal Life of the Sea

Year Published: 1920s

Creator: Kodak Cinegraph

Description: A silent film's look at some of the interesting invertebrate life under the sea. This was a 100ft Kodak Cinegraph home release; at the time many people would have never seen these creatures before. I believe the film originally dates to circa 1927. While the official title is "Animal Life of the Sea", for the Youtube title I decided on "Invertebrate Life of the Sea", since otherwise people might be expecting to see fish and the like. See sea sponges, polyps, anenomes (or "Sea Roses" as they called it) and more simple beautiful underwater life. Musical soundtrack addded, "Siegmund's Love Song", re-cut to fit the length of the film.
