national parks ...an eagles view blu ray
this is very well done very informative but not VERY long 1hr 4M. OTHERWISE good program starting on the east coast and meandering across the states to the west coast when they were parks then elevated to NATIONAL PARKS.all very well but i think they should be a little longer minimum 90 mins the cuz (they lost a star for length)
Not the best aerial HD video
I have to ask whether this was shot by professionals. Many of the scenes look hazy, as if the video was shot through the aircraft windows. And that's because it obviously was shot through the aircraft windows. Worse, this is the shakiest aerial video I have seen.
The narration is fine, except for a couple of factual errors. For example, Rocky Mountain National Park only has one "Fourteener" peak, not a great concentration of them as the script states. David Arkenstone's music is fine throughout.
Despite the faults, the scenic beauty depicted in this video may please some viewers. For better HD quality, check out the PBS "Visions Of___" and "Over___" series.
The First of the Series?
Howdy;
I really don't know if this was the first in the series, but it does make for a good introduction of what follows.
As for the claim that the shots were shaky, it was shot from planes and 'choppers that are prone to wind currents. To me, it would seem odd if it didn't shake.
The video is sharp, clear and bright. It make my 47" LED like a window in the plane. The Narration by Alphonse Keasley is interesting and informative. The music is super great and David Arkenstone catches the moment of each scene.
The price of this and all the others of this series is great for what you get. Running time is about 64 minutes.
BTW, two more (Acadia and Death Valley) are being released on September 10, 2013. I WILL BE GETTING THEM AS WELL!
What can I say, I'm just a plain and simple Mountain Man and I love my home theater. Hope this helps out.
