Desire to find faces, or making order from chaos?

This was shot in Jan-Feb 2014 in the Yucatan/Campeche regions of Mexico. The purpose of this footage was to see if this consumer-grade Nikon D5300 could produce acceptable video images for possible use on future film projects. The footage is all hand-held and a Nikon 18-200DX f3.5-5.6 VR lens was used for most of it.

In telephotos of the full moon, it's difficult to see a face of any sort. But, it can be seen clearly by the naked eye. Do you suppose it has more to do with the way our brains process abstract shadows looking for faces? Or, the attempt to find order in chaos? Not sure, but listen to the speculation in this video.

The video is two parts. First part is some wondering speculation at the beginning of the journey, and the second part is the "diving into" the rest of the trip. There wasn't any specific purpose for this, other than to test some consumer-grade Nikon D5300 dSLR filmmaking gear, along with a GoPro for travel and to see if the combination could be used to get a decent image for some future short film stuff.
