Hi Brian.
I think this is your greates uwol film. I loved all of it and don’t bother if the chopter scenes came out a bit shaky, it doesn’t matter. I guess it was a reindeer horn on the ground? Beautiful!
And the fox, that was awsome. I have to go to Nunavut at some time or another. You live in a great part of the world.

I think you have done a excellent job on this one. When working with wildlife it's always nice to have luck on your side. Knowing how your aerials where taken I have no problem with the stability of the shots. When you get it perfected you will be a dangerous man. What camera are you using with it?

Hi Brian, I really liked your entry!
I specially liked your use of wide angel lens did you use any front monted lense on this one? Your heli-scene was also stunning, the vibration dosn't matter, you got a real aereal view! The fox was nice too.
Good work Brian!

Hey Brian,

If the offer still stands, I'd love to borrow a helicpoter ;-) I thought that shot was great!
Overall you had some really well composed images that blended really well! Thanks!

Great video,Living in a warm climate like I do its always incredible to think that creatures live and breed in such a cold climate...The shot of the birds egg I suppose proves that they do.Got to get one of those helicopters,adds a new dimension to filming.

Brian, your shots from above are awesome.
Great to see things from a different angle than we usually see things.
The sequence with the arctic fox was my favorite.
Well made film!

I loved the opening title, with the ice melting- great! The fox was amazing. I liked the flow of everything- literally and figuratively, a watery, icy world. And the ending sunset was beautiful. Really enjoyed this- my favorite of yours so far.
