Description


Sandstorm over the Excavations
VC01

           A sandstorm blows over the Temple Terrace, seen from outside the excavation area, just north of J5. The camera pans over the excavations, and it includes the Temple at the top. The scene becomes progressively darker, and at the end the camera is engulfed in the whirling dust. The only sound is the deafening howling of the wind.

The term "video" is used here instead of "film", as these sequences are raw unedited footage (as the term is taken customarily to mean).
