Naturally Ningaloo DVD

2 posts
  1. Wags and Kelly,

     

    I thought that you would like some feedback on your Naturally Ningaloo DVD.

     

    First of all, I was expecting images of high quality - and guess what ? I got it ! I must say, even thoug it still is only a SD DVD, the images on my LG 32 " LCD is truely awesome :P

     

    The nature shots from the canyons was fantastic (All the time I was looking for Crocodille Dundee, or was it Mad Max :P )

     

    Underwater images was extremely sharp and colorfull. For pure image quality, I haven't seen anything close on my LCD TV before, and that's quite a statement :)

     

    For your information, I can tell you that just after I saw your DVD there was a show on the national danish tv station about artificial reefs, the undewater shots in that show was terribel, absolutely 110% crap, so much for the stations high standards on raw material - bulls... :)

     

    So it was a wonderful experience to se your DVD.

     

    Finally, just so you don't think that there is nothing to improve. ^_^

     

    In my opinion:

     

    I like it when the naturally sound is in the background. When I see the surf, I like to hear it too, when I see a boat speeding through the water, I like to hear it too, you get the point ?

     

    To many "fade-to-blacks", tricky, cause I like to use them aswell, but they tend to stop the ongoing action.

     

    Kellys voice, your narration is great but, how shall I put it, I know you don't have a professional sound studio, but I think there is to much "room" (I don't know how to say it in english), but it is the sound from a room that is not "sound-dead". I sometimes try to optimize the voice-over in a sound program, playing with the equalizer, and sometimes it helps.

     

    But when all that is said, it is still a great DVD witout any doubt :lol:

     

    I have made a small posting in my blog, sheduled for later today, and hopefully some danes might get by your site, and actually buy your DVD.

     

    Stay cool B)

  2. Why Hans thanks for the kind words. :P and glad you liked it.

    The DVD was made to sell to the tourists that come here and we have already nearly made our money back mainly because we made it all ourselves and not by some $$$ production studio/company.

     

    It was also cut up to be used as a relaxation DVD, put it on and let it go forever hence the music track by default. Kelly sat on the floor when she narrated it using a lap mic clipped onto her and it went straight into the Sony A1. She did it all in one go. ^_^

     

    Of cousre it was cut up with EDIUS and rendered straight out from the Canopus HQ HDV timeline in one single go as progressive 8.5mbps CBR mpeg file and then assembled in DVDLAB Pro. We even burnt the master with DVDLAB PRO's built in burning software which was a first and then sent the Master DVD'r to the replicators.

     

    So far we have yet to find a player that has had a problem playing them....touch wood...ha ha.

     

    We are looking forward to seeing a BlueRay version later on as well.

     

    Enjoy :)
