Yeah, I can't say I recommend the venue, but purely graphically speaking, the visuals are quite impressive!

Nice work, wish I was even any where close to being that good.

But I loved the "bloopers" at the end. :rolling:

Thanks for sharing.

Well Thank you Mr. Croft!!
You got a pretty good start on cracking yourself!
I only got good from practicing an hour everyday for almost 4 years now! Just takes patients & time, & I still can't get some of the basics! LOL!

Impressive and outstanding, as so many others have stated!

Question(s): if you're shooting these videos yourself... with a camera phone... how do you accomplish the zooms and pans? Do you have some kind of remote-controlled motor-activated mini-tripod? Or do you set up a wide static shot and add the zooms and pans in post-production?

And how many times did you climb up and down from that tower to reset the camera and get all the shots?

Oh, and one more – the cops or other "authority figures" don't question you? In some shots there were roads and cars in the background; it's not like you hiked out into the middle of nowhere to avoid passers-by.

Yes, I use static shots & edit in the pans & zooms later-
-I did have to climb up & down quite a few times LOL!
I have had no problem with cops, bullwhipping in the park is completely legal!
as far as being on that electrical tower…I'm sure if they saw me up there they would have asked me to get down!
- I hope I answered all your questions
