MEANING OF THE TITLE
 Traditional Lakota war cry meaning, "it is a good day to die." Another translations are "hold fast. There is more!" or "Welcome" More in the Glossary
SPECIAL (D)EFFECTS:
Blures, overlays
FACTS & TIDBITS:
Picture made on the set of Hidalgo
HoT: Hoka Hey and some of the Miyelo images seem to consist of layers. Have you actually layered photos to create some of your images? If not, could you tell me how you achieved the effects?
VM: Well, I don't know if I want to technically explain everything. Some things are best left a little mysterious! I will say that I did not layer photos to achieve Hoka Hey. That multiple-frame image is taken right from the film strip. From: Viggo Mortensen on photography, art and politics, The House of Telcontar Q&A, Oct 09, 2003

COMMENTS:
EOS: This one still remains one of the greatest Special (D)efects mysteries. Still no idea how it was made. Looks very much like a multilayered image, and Viggo says multiple-frame. Does he mean multiple exposure? Two possibilities come to my mind: he managed to move the film strip INSIDE the camera while exposing it, because there are clearly shadows of the frame in the pic. As long as I know nothing about his photolabor and a camera the picture was taken with, it's impossible to say more.
