Shot on 8mm film in 1980, this vintage home movie captures two pelicans gliding low over the sandy shoreline of Mendocino, California. The birds hover just above the breaking waves, their dark silhouettes contrasting against the churning ocean and pale sand. The footage exhibits classic Super 8 grain, soft focus, and a nostalgic, slow-paced quality, evoking a serene coastal moment from the era. The camera remains steady, focusing on the natural movement of the wildlife against the rhythmic surf.
