A researcher uses a microscopic imaging tool to study rock art at the Painted Rocks Historical Site.
The Painted Rocks Historical Site, Inc. · Paint Rock, Texas · 2026 · 6:32 The Painted Rocks is a pictograph site in Paint Rock, Texas, cared for by a nonprofit that welcomes Native communities, archeologists and the public. They needed an evergreen film that explains the site and its mission to visitors and donors for years to come. We filmed around the winter solstice, when light interacts with the rock art, and let the people closest to the site tell its story, with timelapses, drone work and macro shots bringing the landscape to life.
