UWOL 15- "The Sandhill"

Hi Chris B.
I think this is a great video about the Sandhill Crane.
Great colors and a fine mix of shots, also informative and educational.
I miss a real good close up of the Crane though but I guess you can have it all, eh? :)
The shot starting at 0.50 to 0.57 is a bit unsteady, but what a great shot it is.
Another shot starting at 2.07, if possible, I would have tried to get another angle to it, because the cars passing by up in the right corner do distract a little bit I think.
Great VO, music and editing.

Wish you all the best and good luck.
Geir Inge

Strange how we all notice different things in a film! I thought it was a lovely peaceful kind of video, so everything was wonderful except for about three seconds at 1:12 when the camera wasn't level - or the horizon wasn't level. Maybe I'm just paranoid about level horizons because of living near the sea. But I certainly didn't notice the cars in the corner that Geir did.

Next time one of my DSLRs needs replacing, I'll certainly be thinking about a new one with a video facility.

Annie:

Wow I never noticed that, but I think you are right. l usually have my tripod and camera combo leveled, but not sure whether that shot was just not leveled initially. Thanks for pointing that out. Something I will be more aware of next film..
