Geoff Bassett 1 year ago

I have to say I am impressed. The music, framing, subject matter and voiceover all came together flawlessly. It's one of the few video's I've seen that a truly believe to be near flawless. I enjoyed you use of time stretching in after effects to create some interesting effects in composition and on the footage. Your color correction was also fantastic, what software was used? Magic bullet?

Stunning presentation - exceptional in every way! I can't begin to comprehend what you went through to obtain this footage - even though you explained it. You said "I may never be a rich man" but you are already wealthy beyond measure. Thanks for sharing this with the world. Special props to your music composer - I loved the panning piano riff. Cheers, Paul in Chicago
