Hey... nice work...

gotta love that IS for video hey ! especially the f4is... its amazing how much shake it can take out.

Im a bit the same... been just shooting vids and putting them together as best as possible... i think you did a great job...

i am not in a position to offer criticism... im in the same boat as you.. need to do some outings thinking video only...

one thing i noticed is that it looks a tad overexposed.. were your dialled in for + on the exposure? feels like it could be richer in colour if it were slightly less exposed....

but that being said - its hard to tell if its vimeo too...

i have been using smugmug to display video... and it rocks, but you have to pay

i think the biggest thing im learning is short sharp clips like you used, almost always tripod mounted, treat each scene like a photo - letting the action occur in the frame rather than chasing it... or edit the major camera moves out....

i shot an airshow - was there for photos but took some handheld vid with 100-400... arghh sooo jerky even when i was trying to stay still! so i am no videographer - but man am i having fun!!!

I've actually did tried but was so shaky and the tungsten cast was so strong that I did not even take it seriously. This one has opened my eyes. Thanks!
