Historical Found Footage Films

Author

Have there been any films made that try to portray a man-on-the-street depiction of periods of ancient or medieval history? Like someone just leaves a video camera running in the study of some noble. Or we see a glimpse of rough-housing and banter between men-at-arms swinging their weapons at training dummies at the barracks. 

 

Basically what I'm asking is if anyone has ever heard of a film-maker who produces slice of life films depicting life as it was centuries ago, with meticulous detail for historical authenticity. No music. No makeup, tooth whitening, or other cosmetic alterations that would not have been available in the particular time and place depicted in the film.

Cloverfield featured an ancient animal.  Pretty sure its teeth were real too.

That was on this forum? Damn. I knew I had posted this topic in the recent-ish past, but I thought it was on another forum. Silly how that happens.
