UWOL#15- Silent Kingdom- by Kevin Railsback

Kevin,

as usual when I see your videos, I am left speechless, and no change on this one.

I loved the saturated look of your films, something I have asked before, is how you all get it that way.
Some do it post, but you do it in camera, something I will have to try, with your technique.

Thanks again for an inspiring video.

Sam,

Every camera's settings are different so you're going to have to experiment with yours.
But all I do is pump up the color and crush the blacks.

I never change the settings on my camera for anything I shoot. Every UWOL entry has been shot with the same exact camera settings.

I'll change them if I have to for some corporate gig when they want a specific look. But for me, I've never thought about changing my settings.

I know that may limit me in some way but it's the look I like so I don't see any reason to change it.

Kevin, I checked out your film a couple of days ago, and it's still in the back of my mind. It's not really subliminal, but more in your face with a delayed slap to the back of the head at the end. I read Silent Spring back in the 70's and it brought back memories of that book, though this is delivered with moving color and sound, and quickly.

Classically from the Railsback stable! It has all your hallmarks fella. I think there was maybe a touch too many text points...less might have been more in this. The premise was strong and the images were as good as always!

Hi Kevin.

I like your video very much.
It’s a very well told story, it’s informative and at the same time do raise an important issue.
If I’m to put a finger on anything at all, it has to be the text starting at 1.36 and the text at 1.48. In my opinion there is too much text according to the other messages you give. But this is a minor issue and just my personal opinion :)
I guess this film can be used by, or sold to an organization like WWF or something similar, as a PSA? It sure did make me think.

Wish you all the best and good luck.
