Vimian, Lea Amet commented, "Wow! I am so glad to be alive, just to watch this, it was worth it!" Mitch & Nick Short, the surviving teenage sons of champion skipper, Andrew, returned to sailing the other day, knowing their father wants them participating in the sport he loved. And we wish 16 year old Jessica Watson the greatest of luck and safety on her voyage around the world. Aussie Sailors are the bravest in the world and Out Of The Woods is for two Legends Of The Sea. Thank you. xxxxx

    Nice! Wish there was a little less repetition of scenes, and less of the mirror/b&w effects in the re-use of content, but apart from that which is minor, I still liked it. I guess it is the author's style. Greetings from Norway, ya! Best, Rimmer.
  • Chris Simon plus 2 months ago
    Greetings Rimmer. Style is repetitive. Spontaneity of story could only make so many scenes. I’d prefer more scene changes & less mirrors and would create more animations or dance sequences. I might make u a longer cut to make amends. Very constructive comments. Thank you.

    Hey Rimmer i love this video too ^_^. Having worked with Chris, I would say his storytelling style involves b&w mirrors-to-clr effects.

    I think some of the repeats in his heart rendering story of 'Out Of The Woods' are necessary to tell how Sailors are lost at Sea. Being on the ocean, dreaming of land and fish, whales, going back in time, it's naturally repetitive ^_^

    In my opinion I believe it’s a beautifully cut, edited and musically scored video with real story-telling repeats and continuity ^_^

    I look forward to seeing your videos Rimmer ^_^.

    I really like this video!, Rhythm, shapes, colours, and it gives so much impulse for life, and a desire to contribute harmoniously to its wonders.

    Andrew-15 Sydney-Hobarts. Sally-Most capped female sailors in history. Andrew’s sons back out on the ocean; (“It’s what Dad would have wanted”) Thanks Lea for your beautiful comments and we hope the support continues.

    Wow, just wow. In my opinion, your best work yet. It's hard to best LEA's comment it really summons everything up very nicely. What a mixture of beauty and emotion, it was extremely moving and inspiring at the same time. Thanks for sharing this with us.

    A technical question:
    Where did you get all of the beautiful aerial video, and the lightning clip? If you filmed that all, props to you!

    Great job.
  • Chris Simon plus 1 month ago
    Happy it inspired you Sasha. Fortunate owning aerial stock. Lightning has some animation.Legends of the sea story emotive. The Best Believes’ soundtrack adds to the beauty. Thx4UR amazing comment.
