A Blip TV presentation. Set to a poem by Antonio Machado and narrated by Alec
Baldwin, visual effects master Chel White uses time lapse photography to
simultaneously display the majesty of nature and the destruction of
humanity’s footprint. This hauntingly beautiful film shows what we stand
to lose if we continue to put the environment second to progress, but also shows
that it is possible to put technological progress hand in hand with
environmental preservation.
