DESERET NEWS REVIEW
Desert Vision (Miramar Productions) "Desert Vision" is nine separate mini-movies directed innovatively and stylishly by Jan Nickman. Miramar Productions refers to the "Desert Vision" collection as a "video album" and that's an appropriate title since this 50-minute hi-fi stereo tape takes a specific theme for each of its nine pieces, sets them to beautiful instrumental music by David Lanz and Paul Speer, and with the use of a Steadicam, takes the viewer on breathtaking tours over some of the world's most stunning natural rock and sand formations.
Among them are vivid scenes of Canyonlands and Capitol Reef National Parks in the segment titles "Desert Rain"; Arches, Bryce Canyon, and Canyonlands National Parks in "Sculptures" and various southern Utah locations in "Canyon Lands" and "Stormlight."
Other locations used include Arizona and New Mexico, where aerials and time-lapse cloud and light movement enhance the work. But I found the tape most intriguing when it was merely the photographer walking through caves or around cactus or over rock-laden areas.
Words are actually quite inadequate to describe the experience of enjoying a tape like "Desert Vision," and I must confess to being surprised at just how fully entertaining and intriguing this one is. Watching it a second time just reinforced its mesmerizing qualities and convinced me that this truly is a video that can be watched over and over without becoming tiresome. In fact, watching "Desert Vision" encouraged me to go out and find Miramar's earlier, similar production "Natural States." And it may have the same effect on you.
