Night Elements is a meditation on a fundamental human experience; fear of nightfall, darkness and violent weather. It embraces the valid, but unscientific, attitudes of people toward the environment and celebrates folk wisdom and the pure emotional response.

Raven is widely-regarded as a highly intelligent, cunning animal. The deep black of the raven does not signify evil, but rather the seeking of answers from the void. The Raven documents what can be learned through observational study of the bird. It is High Plains Films' answer to March of the Penguins; a contemplative short concerning the distant knowledge and mystery of the animal kingdom.
