Plot: Mountains in Motion: The Canadian Rockies is an experimental short documenting the life of the alpine landscape through time-lapse photography. In an effort to highlight the wildness of these mountain places and how they have inspired explorers of the past, present and future, sequences were painstakingly gathered from exposed summits; by glacial lakes; and under aurora-filled skies. This 100% human-powered film combines time-lapse photography with an original story and musical score to bring the landscape center-stage and offers a thrilling new perspective that re-establishes the Canadian Rockies among the finest mountains in the world.

[Breck speaking over Wendy's grave]::Breck Coleman, Wagon Train Scout: Well, Zeke, old Wendy has gone on another trail.

It's a case of nowhere to go.::Red Flack, Wagon Boss: It appears to me you do your shooting by daylight with too many people looking on, hey?
