Mike.... I have been enjoying your film... I was mildly amused at how we both had more or less the same idea for the initial opening of earth from space and them zooming in. I'll have more detailed questions for you privately, but I liked how you did that.

Your editing was nicely paced and tied things together - though I can only imagine how much work that must have been.

I'm not quite finished yet but have enjoyed your film immensely. I said this before,but your catalougue of animals, birds, reptiles and arachnids etc is fantastic.

I'll post more later after I finish my first and add a 2nd watch. Good job. Good luck !
