This silent film is the story of OC (Old Cart), who sits unused and forgotten in a corner, watching the newer, shinier carts being chosen for the daily work it longs to do. When an unexpected mishap leaves the other carts unavailable, OC is finally given a chance to prove its worth, transforming from the forgotten, derided cart into an essential part of the library’s rhythm.
To create this silent film project, I filmed all scenes with props and the staff of my library as the cast, and assembled them in CapCut at 24 frames per second using the “Hollywood Past” filter. I created the intertitle cards and borders from assets in Canva and spliced them into the film. All music was sourced from Incompetech Music and edited into the film using CapCut.
