I have uploaded a new video at http://www.vimeo.com/939985. I am new to Colour Grading so any comments, whether complimentary or critical would be greatly appreciated

Beauty! Hey, I thought Australia was in a perpetual state of drought?

Video coloring looked constant, so nothing bad to say about the grading.

Like nearly every other shooter in the world, you need to remind yourself to take your hand off the tripod handle from time to time, even when you're doing a lock down shot. That'll help eliminate those tiny little jiggles.

Good variety of shots...especially the low angle over the water.

Liked the Time Lapse at the end...

nice stuff. Liked the way the music worked with the visual, and kangaroos? What part of California is this?
..sorry, they are cool indeed.

Liked the timelapse shot. Would like to have seen it go completely to dark night, you had me until the fade to black.

Now, on my screen the video did not play smoothly, looked like the player was not loading it into RAM. How can I get it to play right? I have a fast internet connection and 1.8 GHz G5. What format do you upload in? H264? or MPEG2 or?

Thanks for taking the time to share it. I'll have to get out of my learning curve and put some of mine up there.

Thanks Bill. The wobbly bits were most probably the handheld shots I did. The one earlier on I was holding just above the ground because it was raining and I didn't want my camera to get any more wetter than it already was, and the low angle at the end I was holding about 2 inches above the water. And, yes, the East Coast of Australia has just been through one of the toughest droughts on record, but the last 12 months has also seen some of the most severe storms in recent memory too. A land of contrasts.

Same here Chip and it won't play smoothly on my machine either.

What happened to the Stork (?Bird) when the truck went past spraying water up high?
(01.11)

Did the driver slow down or did the bird get away in time? Or was it set-up?

Very nice clip anyway but I'd love to have seen what happened with the bird.
Presumably you cut it for a reason.
