      Trailer and movies can be found on YT.

    Sorry to be a downer, but most silent films were hand cranked and averaged out at 18 fps, hence they appear fast at 24 fps as of 1930. The slo mo wibbly-wobbly AI thing, while great for the colour grading of 1950's epics, really doesn't work in the silent film context. Check out some restored classics via the Criterion Collection (admittedly synced to modern sensibilities). I find your work compelling, but you're not watching what you try to re create in enough detail.
