Shot on 8mm film in 1974, this vintage home movie captures a waterbuck resting on a grassy field in Irvine, California. The antelope lies calmly on the ground, its brown coat and ringed horns clearly visible as it chews cud. The footage is framed by dark borders, characteristic of Super 8 film, with natural lighting and a slightly grainy texture. The animal remains mostly still, occasionally shifting its head, offering a peaceful glimpse of wildlife in a suburban setting.
