Notice: for a better view, look the video with the full screen option.

7/10 not enough squirrels

Larkspeed · 15 Sep 2011 at 09:42

Very nice

8/10 only because I did not like the music that much

cumulus1978 · 15 Sep 2011 at 09:43

ok, average now 7,5

7/10 A little soft in places. You do have to watch it full screen and at a distance.

I think its too fast (the shots are fairly short but high speed), slower so you can actually take in what your seeing without everything moving past your eyes as such a speed would be nice....if the overall time is a factor I'd be tempted to take out some scenes to allow fo this.

I also said to him the same thing...

Knowing how difficult these things are to make properly I'd give that a steady 10/10... based on how much I enjoyed watching it too.

it's the first timelapse video for our tourism board. Otherwise video are different, here we filmed all the panorama from the flight and we had very positive comments.

I thought it was awesome but agree that a bit slower might be good. 9/10

The HDR is a bit too heavy in places for my liking, but otherwise very nice.

what do you mean with...too heavy.

Too over-the-top/strong. It looks too fake in places and not natural enough.

This bit especially:

Looks kind of over-saturated, lacking depth in the midtones and has nasty haloing effects going on.

But surely if that's what it would look like standing there then the effect is fine.

I have hiked in the Canadian Rockies and woken up on the shore of a lake at 7am just as the sun crested a ridge and hit the mountains at the end.

The scene looked so perfect it almost looked fake which is what you are describing here.

Personally I would say well done to capture that

I think it's very very good!
well done!

I'm 99.9% certain that's not what it would look like standing there, which is entirely my point.

As someone who does a lot of HDR I did really like this video however some of the hdr was taken too far and it was oversaturated and kinda ruined.

I give this 7/10

I likes it, nice peaceful and stunning scenery.

the sensation of "peaceful" is very important.
