SafeHaven Alpaca Video.
Honestly you guys have to see this. These animals are the best.
This is an excerpt of two of the models controlling the animals while
I take some snapshots.
There was lots of footage, but I wanted to include a shot
of the cute Alpaca above falling down and playing dead.
As well as some footage of me walking the other one.
Filmmakers say that one of the most difficult things to work with
are animals and children. As you can see as cute as they are
they have a mind of their own.

Ignore the clicking.
It's the wind noise kicking the microphone.

Sorry to break this to you folks, but TOTEM:CYCLES is indefinitely postponed.
The BlackStripe home office will be moving to a new location over the next three months.
I apologize to all of you who have been waiting for the schedule all winter.
The location change was not planned and will cost more money than we would prefer.
However as things stabilize we will be picking the production back up.
I will contact all those involved to see if you still want to participate when we rejoin the world of production.
Again I was very pleased with the cast and crew that we had gathered together.
I hope we will be able to work again in the future.
Part one of TOTEM is scheduled to play at the " Arlenes Grocery picture show " an unusual festival in NYC.
I'm not sure what this means but here is how it was described........
