"Reverberations"

My son, Alex, is an intermedia major in college. His emphasis is film. He decided to go in the desert, put mud all over himself and do something. He wasn't sure what, he thought the location would make his mind up. We drove around way out in the desert and came across an abandoned trailer park. It was a tattered mess with belongings strewn everywhere. He just had to film there, but this time he wanted me to start and stop the camera so he could be in it. I was thrilled. This was going to be amazing and it was 107 so it was nasty out and perfect for the location. We got some amazing shots, but at one time the combination of the sun on the viewing screen making it impossible to read if it was recording or not and not hearing the beep when I turned it on, I managed to miss filming half of it, turning it off when I should be filming and on when I should be not filming. I was absolutely devastated, to say the least, because one shot panned over the entire site and one I was shooting into a window of a trailer while he walked along the other outside of the trailer, peering into the window into the darkness. Alas, he's so talented that he made the best of what I did manage to film of him and made it into a class assignment. He named it "Reverberations" and made the sounds/music to go with it. He then put an effect on the coloring to make it look like our old childhood 1970s pictures that turn magenta over time. I really love the way it came out and thought I'd share it because...it's an abandoned site and it's spooky. If you watch him, you have to wonder what his story is. It looks so hopeless and bleak and like time just stands still forever and ever in the same cycle (sounds like living in the desert!)
