Similarly, wouldn't it be interesting if we all left traces as we buzzed through the city - and THAT reminds me of the animation in another favorite (short) film, Ryan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qBgRAkea4M This reminds me of Winged Migration, one of my favorite movies…the “invisible” journeys of birds, the traces they leave.
