5.0 out of 5 stars
What was the film editor thinking?, January 22, 2010
This review is from: Portland Taiko: Taiko Kinesis (DVD)
I have to give this DVD five stars, just because the energy and vibrancy of the Taiko performance shows through despite the odd camera work. Often, when a drummer was moving, the camera would cut to another shot. It was very frustrating to not see the drummers complete the move. Yet, when the drummers were stationary, the camera would hold a long take.
I wonder why the overhead camera shots were not used more often when the drummers were moving in patterns.
Although this DVD cannot capture the excitement of a live show, it is a good substitute.
I hope that this video helps to promote the artistry of Taiko drumming, and Portland Taiko in particular.

This DVD is fantastic. I would recommend it. It is fun to watch. Taiko is such a visual musical style that it is great to be able to watch it.
