4.0 out of 5 stars eye candy (almost), January 18, 2000

By	[e-mail] (the netherlands) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Yosemite: The Seasons (DVD)

Breathtaking scenery (thanks to Mother Nature) and breathtaking shots (thanks to the cameraman). The editing though got on my nerves the first time I watched it. The picture changes every 5-6 seconds with fade-in-fade-out transitions. Hardly any time to contemplate the natural beauty. And the camera moves all the time. Imagine: slow pan to the left 5 seconds, fades out, pan right fades in, 5 seconds then it fades out just to let in a zoom out and so on. Looks a bit like those CNN "sights and sounds" montage. If you can get used to this, you'll enjoy the presentation. Also, wonderful dvd transfer!

1.0 out of 5 stars Photographer NOT Cinematographer, May 29, 2001

By	Wandering somewhere in Oz (San Francisco, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Yosemite: The Seasons (DVD)

Unfortunately, the creator of this DVD had "fade"-itis! Just as the eyes are settling into the scene, it is fading into the next. Basically, what you have is a photographer's view of Yosemite, not a filmaker's. The pictures are vivid, brilliant, and sensuous, yet there is never enough time to take them in since the view is almost immediately fading into the next one.

2.0 out of 5 stars This DVD A Real Snoozer, January 31, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Yosemite: The Seasons (DVD)

There are better Yosemite videos out there if you look for them. This is nice visual wallpaper, but without much substance. If you like slow music video with a less-than-accomplished narrator, this is the title for you.
