No matter what you think of Mesa, you won’t be able to deny that local videographer Michael Pearson’s new video makes it look super cool.
Titled “Greetings from AZ Part 1: Mesa, AZ,” the six-minute video captures the historic sites and signs of this east Valley community.
The video took Pearson a couple weeks to shoot, and — because it’s shot entirely on 8mm, high-definition film — another week to process.
