@rupdaddy Ernest Hemingway the writer once hit Orson Welles the narrator with an even better put-down: "Every time he said the word infantry, it was like a cocksucker swallowing." Guess you can't please everyone...
@4tXI I actually wanted it sounding gravelly and Australian, but the actor could only play it sincerely as Connery- go figure. Anyway yes, I keep that rOck with the third eYe clOse...
Awesome film mate, thats all worth the 26sec you get to view that beauty , i dont know why i havent watched this befor!!! hope all is well for you mate
@pootang47 I'm glad you finally found it! Yes, as crazy as it sounds, there wasn't anyone who didn't feel it was worth it. All's well for the car and me again since a country road trip last weekend. No solar eclipse, but it was great to get out of the city. Hope you're finding your bliss on the open road as well!
You're very welcome, Skoootacod, and thanks for reminding me about the 2012 one! Mind you, we might not get so lucky in terms of getting a perfectly cloudless sky in tropical far north Queensland in mid-November... but fingers crossed.
You're right about the sweating, Lorrie! It was hot and dry as hell. One bloke I met there made the comment: "If you took away the spiky little shrubs, this could be Mars!" We couldn't have asked for a better setting for the event.
omg, this is amazing....enchanting...i didn't want to miss a second of it
nothing is more beautiful than nature in all of its splendor, and nothing makes me feel any better than when i feel like i am a part of it. this video is great because i felt like i saw it in person instead of a picture of it...the narration was awesome
All of a sudden, the solar system popped out into three dimensions: here the earth, out there the moon, and far beyond it that enormous all-powerful star we orbit around. I'm glad you feel as if this video put you there, Vicki: it made me want to break into the song "Aquarius"!
You betcha, David. It was amazing, and the camera only caught a pale facsimile. If you ever get the chance to see a total solar eclipse with your own eyes, do it!
What an amazing blend of film and narration. It held me captive from start to finish..it is an artform at it's spellbinding best! When watching this or any of your videos,it is apparent that you have a special bond with nature and the gifts that are bestowed on the planet.
Oh shanon, you do make me blush! Thanks for yet another sparkling review. When it comes to being a person with "a special bond with nature and the gifts that are bestowed on the planet" you know what they say: "It takes one to know one."
Thank you, tigerus3! There's an Indian belief that the artist doesn't really create, but rather channels the divine. I like to think that happened here. God (or nature) provided the spectacle, and all I did was hit "record"...
Thanks for the video! I was gonna ask how u got sean connery to narrate it, but u ruined it for me lol. Good work tho *liked*
