Rob,

Great film. I echo some of the same comments as Mat.
I was surprised after your last film how low contrast much of this piece was. Course, if you have overcast skies, sometimes it's hard to avoid it.

The water wheel had allot more contrast. I guess you could say you were making a statement of the harshness of man in the subtleties of nature.

The dragonfly was killer!

The music was a little too electronic for me but it still works with the film. I guess I'm just kind of old fashioned that way. :)

Good job man!!

Rob, you made a really nice film.
I liked the dragonfly. This part must have been hard to shoot?

Hi Rob,
Just been watching some of your other movies.
Very impressed with your camera work in "Second Law". How you kept up with the fast action taking place here was very impressive. You pans, tilts & zooms well very nice, along with some very nice editing.
Wish I lived near the beach and could give this a go - although I'm probably getting a wee bit old for this sort of stuff. Probably best to stick to filming these sort of activities. Then again, I love being on an Air Chair (http://www.skyski.com/), and will need to introduce this to the Challenge at some stage.
Very impressive getting a high quality movie of almost 4.5 minutes into an 8mb file too.

I enjoyed watching your video,the close up of the water wheel was imo very artistic...good stuff

I really like your eye for macro details. As in your last film, you really show incredible fine detailed images. The water was really neat in motion toward the end. And the dragonfly must have been almost impossible to capture. Great.
