This animation is done by Arms and Sleepers.  It's what my film would be like if it wasn't a tragedy.  This will be another project for my L1F3 P4R7N3R and I.  :]

After coming back to SoCal, I got the chance to go to Palm Springs to visit the Living Desert and the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Canyons.  Got great pictures and footage this weekend with a new Canon Rebel t2i--
