Description
Humanities and Social Sciences
Film, Audio, Video and Digital Art
Lots of topics talked about here, but none of them are real great on a technical level. Audio is poor and video has the orange/warm hue to it as Jim & Sheila expound of sundry topics. Cutaway shot of prices for water on sign is interesting; most other establishing and master shots of desert terrain and camper are repeated on other videos and with stronger technical results.
