I decided to great the New Year of 2016 with a 32-second video flashback I made at the end of 2015, filmed mostly in Tbilisi, Republic of Georgia.
The idea of creating one second a day video project arrived at me after I watched the movie Chef (2014).

Swans looked confused, they were trying to get somewhere, as we later learned - they were searching for a lake.
