i gave up videography about 2 years ago but am returning

this was a sample video, which took me only 2 years to complete lol never mind let me know what you think.

the video footage take that amount of time because, it took the aid of two gliders, the use of a power boat and several friends and many locations.

the music is by my brother playing guitar

i have just purchased 2 sony hvr hd1000E cameras and hoping to do it all again

The first video features some absolutely brilliant footage of the bird in flight, really top notch stuff; great locations, great light. I can't even imagine the amount of times you had to do takes to get it right.

On the second video, I kept whincing as people walked backwards towards the camera - I kept thinking someone would bump into the camera The montage of images of the lady threw me a little, as it just seemed a little out of place.

I don't mind some of the transitions, although many of the dissolves are too long and means several seconds of footage is being lost as such.

I'm not keen on the music on either film - it's a bit too much like The Shadows, and I'm not really into that kind of guitar. Something a bit more contemporary and cinematic would work well with the bird footage...

thanks for your coments the music quite strangely is like the shadows because my brother plays in a shadows tribute band the first video took a lot of work over a long period several different countries and a lot of help from friend the second video started as a theme and was all shot on london bridge but i do agree with the reverse video being a little awkward and the trasitions are to long

i might remix the audio on the first video of the birds maybe something classical
