    This is really beautiful. Excellent job of capturing the feelings, emotions and energy - it's cliche to say but I really felt like I was there. Thanks for sharing this, very inspirational.

    Wow, it really looks like you had a great time! The pace of this was awesome, I started getting a lot of energy. :D

    Also, that melon looked scrumptious.

    Loved the angles, the action and the anarchic feel of it all. Not so keen on the music - rather repetitive and lacking in melody/virtuosity for my taste but that's just me grumbling.

    Unique. It's amazing that you were able to take those POV shots, without any jello-ing, gotta love Canon. Was the vignetting intentional (i.e. post or lense) or was it naturally occuring. Great post, but I can say that the vignetting hurt it for me.

    love it. the action and editing looks great, it has such a "high-shutter"-feeling that works so well with the watersplashes. i had too see the short cuts frame by frame, to see all whats going on :-)
    i also like the still you chosen as thumbnail

  • Echinadrome 1 month ago
    Wow, awesome video! I have been looking for an underwater bag too! How does the ewa-marine feel? Can you see through the viewfinder OK? How do you zoom? Can the bag fit only smaller focal length lenses on there (I noticed u seemed to be using a wide-angle)?
  • Frank Sauer plus 1 month ago
    Actually it's not made for wide angle! I just pressed my lens into that bag and twisted it a thousands times to make it work. You will have crumpling plastic on your film from time to time. I am happy with the bag, but don't expect too much. Especially on a sunny day you won't be able to set up your camera "perfectly" because of the reflections on the bag.
  • Echinadrome 1 month ago
    Thanks! Really cool video. Love your "POV" shooting style.

    simple yet spectacular...i really felt like i was there

  • Bill plus 1 month ago
    One thing it needs: At :58, when you set up the PERFECT transition...the camera becoming submerged in the water, hit black for a second and then put your name up as director. Having nothing there but a fade cuts yourself short from that cool moment.

    I'm stunned with how you turned unbelievably shaky and jarring footage (although planned) and turned it into something that you could use and that the audience could comfortably watch. To me, this is what the DSLRS are made for: capturing life's intricate moments in a beautiful and cinematic way. Kudos for pushing boundaries. You're a very skilled editor.

    How much of this was scripted? Was that vignette added in post or was it due to a lens compatibility issue?

    I think I just might have to get one myself, don't really see where I could use it in skating, actually just thought of a way. Yup Im getting one!
