I agree. Beautiful imagery, but almost all scenes in the beginning are vertical pans and that tires the eye. Still, very nice!

if you used a fade transition you could have acquired a nice flowing pan giving the feeling of spinning around and around.

Sure. To start off I shot in 24P with the hopes of removing pulldown. However, I do not have the room on my computer to do this right now - but I went ahead and edited it on a 24P workflow (that was me just being dumb). So basically you are seeing 60i footage exported at 24P. (At least that's what I think is happening) I believe just re-capturing the footage into a proper workflow will fix this.

Also, most of the footage was slowed down to about 75% - amplifying any of the quick stutters.

I used TV mode to lock in at 1/48 - f1.8

"the" is a font called District Thin.
"Creek" is Bell Gothic Std with a drop shadow

thanks.
