Interesting montage-Africa

Thought this an interesting approach - not certain how well I like the final result. What do you think?

Thanks Sandy. I thought it was a beautiful, stunning video and I really liked the editing, music etc. Really nice.

This is an interesting approach, like a time-lapse animation on high. It covers a lot of subjects and locations in one video. Since the entire video is fast action, I feel to be on the go constantly, like no time to rest. It may have been better to space out the fast action scenes by normal speed video clips to give the viewer some respite in between.

I'm with Supriyo. Besides, I'm more of a Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom kind of guy. (I always felt bad for Jim. Did he finally get eaten, or what?);)

+1 on Supriyo's comments.

 

I'm a big fan of the David Attenborough natural history documentaries.

I probably would watch them, but we decided not to use the TV about 10 years ago. No regrets, never going back!

You used to be able to watch them online; don't know if they're still available online for free.

Yeah, I can see a pause, but its not that long and I like roller coaster quality of the constantly moving visual narrative. It would be interesting to see it with your idea Supriyo as to what it does to the overall pacing. But Iike the way its paced. The thing it reminds me of, though this has more content, is the space warp scene in both 2001 and Contact and in though instances the video drop into a quiet zone for a few seconds between phases of the warp.

I thought he did a pretty decent job on transitioning from one "clip" to the next.
