    Beautiful. I loved the 2 elephants! I've always felt some sadness in zoos...
  • Stephen Lewis plus 1 year ago
    Thanks... sadness because they are kept in confined areas?
  •  
  • Marion plus 1 year ago

    First, we love that zoo, it's small, personable and doable. You don't feel overwhelmed there.

    Second, you captured a lot of the animals doing interesting movements, that was nice, the moving camera, whether it was intentionally or not, actually added to the feel of the shot.
    I especially enjoyed the at 1:01 the kids up against the green glass-you captured that well to with the camera settings you used.
  • Stephen Lewis plus 1 year ago
    Yes, it's nice to just go there for say 3 hours and get your fill of animals and overpriced food, while not having to deal with crazy crowds or whatever. Thanks Hoop!

    Well done, Stephen. I like the simple shots with the simple music. I didn't even realize that it was over two minutes long - it just held my attention. Nice job.
  • Stephen Lewis plus 1 year ago
    Thanks Mr. Mahoney.

  • Great shots, just sick of seeing Magic Bullet looks on everyones videos - get it right in the can and its rarely needed unless special FX grading is part of the creative visual - not so sure that's the case here though.

    Still cool, me likes!

    Thanks POP... there is an overabundance of MBL on Vimeo, and I plan to add to the problem. :)
  •  
  • Don't get me wrong Stephen, I think MBL is a fabulous plugin - I have it myself, and I intend to use it too.

    My point was that sometimes its used to much, and instead of seeing the videography you see MBL ... sticks out like a sore thumb if you know what I mean.

    Saying that though, if used wisely it can be absolutley magical, even stunning, so I'm sorry if I gave the wrong impression - personal taste I suppose.
  • Stephen Lewis plus 1 year ago
    No problemo, sorry if I came off too defensive. :)
