Trailer for the film, LIVING DEATH VALLEY.

In Living Death Valley one of Americas most enchanting landscapes is unveiled in this non-narrative, visually and musically arresting exploration of a land as foreboding as its name implies.

The Film takes us on a years journey through remote areas of Death Valley National Park where we gain an intimate perspective of the land and its many moods. Through variations in time lapse photography, high definition video set to an poignant musical score, the viewer experiences the enfolding of an ecosystem in magnificent detail as it moves through the rhythms of day and season. The film enters the secret lives of wild creatures as they interact with their environment. It explores the artifacts left by previous generations who forged a living in this desolate land. Through the terrestrial and celestial interplay of light and movement it catches a glimpse of the forces that have shaped the land throughout the millennia.

Living Death Valley is the non-verbal story of a desert; a realm where extremes collide in a fury, yet where life, delicate and precarious, can survive and even thrive.

Film was commissioned by the Death Valley Natural History Association, a non-profit dedicated to supporting the educational, interpretive, and scientific activities of Death Valley National Park. All sales of the DVD benefit the Park.

    Your bitrate was ok. Yes, Vimeo re-encodes from 30 fps to 24 fps and really messes up smooth motion unless you shot at 24 fps to begin with. I was looking for your upload file to download but it was locked. When you allow your upload file to be viewed your video quality is much better. On the other hand it allows unethical people to use your video for thier own purposes. Don't know if that is a problem with this site or not.
