That opening shot is sweet!
Do you do your tilts digitally?

Disjecta-
Nice work, as always.
How do you get such sharp imagery when shooting those panoramas? I am almost always unhappy with how soft an image I get when I shoot far away stuff with the stock DVX lens and polarised filter. Any suggestions as to how to help with that kind of problem?

Re: New edit
I use an HD cam for my landscapes and pretend to you guys that I am using a DVX.
But seriously, it's all about making sure that your exposure is as even as it can be. Try to avoid hotspots in the sky, this is a killer in video.
Also, uprezzing (see my post at the top of the technical section) helps with the apparent detail.
Thanks for all your comments, guys (and gals)

Beautiful video. AS others said i would love to see you do a city video, in your own way of course.

Re: New edit
I would love to know a few things about how you do your video. I'm sure a million people have asked you but I'm new...
What "actual" camera resolution do you think you're getting after moving to this format (in the vertical?) It sure looks good... Have you viewed this on a High Def set at a widescreen resolution, and if so how does it look? Are you only using this format for the web and if so what format are you using when creating DVD's? Will you put together a DVD with a mix of your nature shots and sell it to us? Doesn't need to be a polished product...
I shoot fishing videos on the Potomac River south of Washington D.C. and would love to create a nature type tour of the river. We are slammed with Bald Eagles here. Anyway that's why all the questions.

Re: New edit
Beyond the technical, I show my films exclusively on an HD Plasma 50" or 42" TV (I own both) and it looks really good on this system.
My final format is DVD so I encode all my work as widescreen 23.976 Progressive. Played natively on a progressive DVD player with the pulldown set to off on the plasma, makes for a serously orgasmic experience
I will be putting a DVD together to sell on the board in the next few months. I'll keep you posted.

Re: New edit
Love it. That fish head makes a lot more sense now with the increase in focus on the barren landscapes.
Interesting idea that I just had. Probably won't work, but you never know. The shot a 1:20. The sky moving faster is great, but what if the water was moving at normal speed. You would have to cut the frame in half and use the stop motion effect for the sky and layer the normal footage of the water on the bottom. Honestly I don't know if it's possible but the cool thing about sky's moving quickly is that they actually look like they're kind of moving slow. So the top half gives a nice, mellow quality, while the bottom half has an MTV like EXTREME! feel to it. I'm exagerrating heavily, but you know what I'm talking about.

Have some commentary and include some technical making-of pieces. I'll definetly buy one.

Re: New edit
Hayden,
Good call on the timelapse thing. I split the screen. The top part is at 6000% and the bottom half, with the river, is now running at 100%. Works really nice.
Thanks for the idea

Re: New edit
Did you shoot that with an Anamorphic Lens or a setting on the DVX?
