Hey NS, I made this video a few months ago but never posted it here. Check it out and tell me what you think!

Hated the timelapse, but the steadycam/track shots were absolutely perfect. Really impressive.

Wow. Phenomenal colors! The colors in the rocks with those first couple tracking shots were absolutely incredible.

My only critiques would be that the timelapses didn't work. Tilting a tripod would have had much more impact. The choppiness of the timelapses sort of draws the viewer out of your video.

The other thing is those film burns. The color of the burn didn't work with the color palate you were using and because of that felt like it was thrown in there instead of being part of the video. The first burn also did not need to be there. Your piece would probably be stronger without it. If you want to use them try desaturating them and playing with curves or wheels until they look like they're part of the footage.

Awesome job! Inspired me to try something like this when I can walk again.
