Shot on 8mm film in 1948, this vintage home movie captures elephants at a zoo in Washington DC. Filmed through a fisheye lens, the footage shows two elephants moving across a grassy enclosure with rocks, a pond, and dense trees in the background. The image has a soft, grainy quality with faded colors typical of mid-century home movies. The dark frame borders suggest viewing through a camera or window, adding to the nostalgic, archival feel. This authentic 1940s zoo footage is ideal for historical documentaries, nostalgic content, or editorial projects.
