TIL that just a few days after surviving the sinking of the Titanic, actress Dorothy Gibson starred in a silent motion picture short about the disaster called "Saved from the Titanic". Gibson even wore the same clothes she wore the night of the sinking to add to the films authenticity.

Yeah, that is true lol. I was more referring to the fact that making of this film involved taking individual pictures with a normal camera.
