very very nice.

Ray, are you happy with the Sony HVR-V1U? Any advice about purchasing?
Ray Paunovich 2 years ago

Jym,
Yes I am very happy but I also use a Sony EX3 and like both cameras very much. The 20X lens on the V1U is outstanding and I also use the Century 2x Ext. for the V1U. Thank your for your comments.

Beautiful video!!!
And by the way, I use HVR-V1U myself. Would you recommend using 60i, 30p or 24p?

This was really nice. Where did you shoot it?
Ray Paunovich 2 years ago

Chris,
This was shot in SW Montana and some in Yellowstone.
Glad you enjoyed it.

I think that 2xTC is giving you some wicked chromatic aberration. You may want to reconsider using it (or switching brands) (see the Red Winged Blackbird at 1:30)

overall - great movie, makes me miss Yellowstone even more!

Amazing shots, big patience, deep peace, awesome colors. These things overcome technical issues, especially when one focus on the flow of your movie. Great video Ray, thx! PS: how much time you needed for the shots?

Beautiful footage! Nice shooting!

On a technical note... The "magic hour" actually begins the instant the sun drops *below* the horizon. Also, for what it's worth, it's not an hour... more like 20 minutes.

Much of the movie "Days of Heaven" (shot by Nestor Almendros) was filmed during those last 20 minutes of sunlight. It's a beautiful movie--Won the oscar that year for Best Cinematography.

I watched this many times. Pacing is great. Transitions go with the emotion. I only didn't really enjoy the sun's movement across the sky to the right, something near there, it didn't flow.

Beautiful, it shows how rich we are. I did not like the corny, overdramatized music though, I am sorry you did not use the incredible sounds of music nature itself provides us with.

Great video! I've shared it with some of our participants from One Day on Earth, a global documentary project I am helping to produce. On October 10th, 2010 thousands of people from every nation around the world will film their perspective and contribute their voice to the largest participatory media event in history. Having images of wildlife and nature are very important to us, so if you like to shoot this content you might want to check it out and participate! The website is onedayonearth.org.
