Despite the worst filming conditions I have ever engaged in, I am thankful I got some solid footage out of it.  Coloring isn’t my strongest suit so I passed it along to my good friend Derek.  Mad talented.  Enjoy.

Love you guys,
Cale Glendening

  • Antoine: All has been said already and all is true. This is just amazing. Not only to have done this project but to have done it in such a beautiful manner. This is the best testimony one can make to these people who are most often disregarded and considered "rebels" for the state. Usually because they oppose the exploitation of the area they live in, love and respect. Not only you are mad talented but you seed love (this refers also to your story of the whole project)! Thanks. (10.12.2009 04:42am)

  • cale: Nick - Oh just an internship at Pixar? Is that it? Lol if you could get that, it would be so awesome!!! Keep me informed. (10.12.2009 09:35pm)
  • Demi: Simply Breath-taking Cale! I even teared up a bit... you captured these people's way of life in 4 minutes without a word! And the colors and detail are so captivating! You are truly talented! You have been blessed! (10.16.2009 12:26pm)
  • Tyler C: Dude nice work (10.21.2009 01:49pm)
  • Jenna Julianne: AWESOME work! It's extremely intriguing right from the start. (Neccessity) The camera angles put me right in the picture and I feel alive in the film. Your ultra steady (good job!) and slow camera movements creates an intensifying suspition with every second (fo sho)!! Your video covers all the facits of video recording. I/the viewer it taken to their world through your...inspired actions and ideas to capture a sacred part of life!! Aaammmmazing!! Bravo!!! sfwfklsd!!! How exciting :D (12.01.2009 12:40pm)
