Nice scenes - disjointed presentation format, January 18, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Californian Dreams / WAVES: Virtual Vacations For Relaxation (DVD)
This DVD does have some nice scenes, however single scenes sometimes stay on for as long as three minutes. For example, the opening scene is looking at the Golden Gate Bridge from a walking birds eye view on the beach - for three minutes. The waves are only about 3 inches high. And I really don't need a flock of seaguls walking up and looking into the camera.
The biggist problem is that the DVD is divided into seven separate "days," with the same redundant view of palm trees followed by very annoying computer graphics rolling into view at the beginning of each new section. It is guaranteed to wake you up and annoy you if you were starting to relax. And almost all of it was shot from the same very low point of view, withought ever giving you a real perspective on the scenery.

Waves, December 27, 1999
I got this video for Christmas and I love it! After all the stress and rush of the holiday season, it was very therapeutic to relax and enjoy the sounds and sights of the beach. I felt as if I was transported to the beach through the television. The director should be given an Oscar! Thank you! P.S. When will you make more?

It is a wonderful nature video- peaceful and beautiful., November 3, 1999
By A Customer
I've watched it 10-12 times! It's very very relaxing to watch and listen to... with just the sounds of ocean waves lapping on the beach without any music. It sure works for me. I've bought several copies including California Dreams for my friends as gifts. I love it! It's great stress relief especially during the holidays.
