Hej Trond

You got some nice shot there… I love the low angle on the creek. You have created a story about something that is really not much to say, but you did. Well done.

Ron:
Yes, the XM2 really deliver great colors. Hardly ever is any color correction needed.
I'm glad you like the video.

Bob:
I thought having the buildings reflected in the water instead of filming them directly would be a cool effect.
Good to hear you like it.

Markus:
You are right, telling a story about almost "nothing" is hard.

Thank you for the comments! I appreciate.

Trond,

I'm a flowing water junkie so anytime I see shots of flowing water, I'm a happy camper.
I'm also a 60fps junkie so I would have loved to seen some of these opening shots in slow motion.
Loved the low angles, makes you feel like you're right on the water.

It was a bit of a jarring cut when you had the hen mallard preening and then made another cut and then another. Not sure if you were trying to hold a preening shot to stay on screen until the VO about preening was done or not.

Really good job handholding. I was busy watching the ducks so it really doesn't even register on most shots.
