Kevin,

I've seen this video many months ago. If I'm not mistaken it was a different edit as well. Could it be so?

Obviously you're a nature/wilderness man and your concern shows in this video.
The ending was well done I thought. Your message hit home real hard.

Same edit, nothing different. I did want to go in and change some things but time is always at a premium for me. Maybe someday. :)

Great story telling with a nature video

This is great story telling with a nature video as its medium. Although the land still looks awesomely beautiful, I can only imagine what it must have looked like to the earlier inhabitants -- with fields of tall grasses stretching as far as the eye can see, as this nature short instructs us.

Keith,
Very good story and powerful. I have been a park ranger for 30+ years in the southern Smokey mountains and have seen the environment change dramatically during this time. I think of the Costner movie Dancing With Wolves and wonder just how majestic the prairies once was.

It's sad to see it all vanishing before our eyes.

I had a call from the local nature center to come and film some land they wanted to save from developers and have to raise over $300k by the end of the year.

The land was incredible, hills and valleys, ridges, even a creek.

The developer wanted to put million dollar homes on the land and was touting how it backed up to the natural areas of the nature center.

Kind of ironic that they would destroy the very type of land they were using as a selling point.

Hopefully Maple Ridge can be saved and it will look like it does now for generations to come.

Yea, I know what you mean. Perhaps the economic slow-down will give the land a bit of a reprieve. We are seeing some of that in my area. What people don't want to believe is that once its gone, it is gone for good.

Regards,
Mark

Thank you

Kevin,

Thank you for all of your inspiration. I know you probably don't mean to inspire other filmmakers necessarily, but God has given you a talent and the drive to use it and I know of three filmmakers in my circle that are impressed with your work so far. Keep it up. I have a couple questions for you if you don't mind.

What are you using to compress your videos. They stay so crisp. Are you using any special technique for uploading them. I shoot an HPX171E and edit on Sony Vegas Pro 8.0c. I just got my HPX. After seeing your River footage, I decided that the HPX170 was the camera to buy. I'm an American living in Germany and wanted the PAL feature so I got the AG-HPX171E which is switchable PAL/NTSC.

God Bless,
Larry A. Burns, Jr.

Larry,

Glad you liked the film!

I'm just using Compressor 3 in the Final Cut Studio 2 package. I've tweaked the settings a bit but nothing major.

Been busy filming in Africa and haven't had time to get caught up yet. :)
